How many research aims should be proposed?
There is no limit, but the applicant should present at least the minimum requirement described in the RFA of one clinical study aim and one mechanistic aim. Each aim should be developed sufficiently for reviewers to judge it by the review criteria that are clearly outlined in the RFA. The aims do not have to address the same topic. All aims should be chosen to take advantage of any current collaborations and resources of the applicant, as well as any institutional resources such as patient populations, other academic and clinical departments that are interested in collaborating, clinic/lab/imaging facilities, experience in specific areas of research, etc.
