Are the topic areas listed on the NHLBI website for GO awards (RC2) the only topics about which the NHLBI wants to receive proposals?
A1. The published topics reflect the Institute’s views regarding priority areas that should be funded through the RC2 mechanism. However, GO grant applications may be submitted on any investigator-initiated topics that meet the criteria described in the RFA (see: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-OD-09-004.html). It is possible that an application focusing on a topic outside the listed priority areas will be found to be so compelling that the Institute will consider funding it.
