Where can I find more information about ARRA funds allocated to NIH Challenge Grants?
The NIH has identified a range of Challenge Areas that focus on specific knowledge gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that would benefit from an influx of funds to quickly advance the area in significant ways. Each NIH Institute, Center, and Office has selected specific Challenge Topics within the broad Challenge Areas related to its mission. The research in these Challenge Areas should have a high impact in biomedical or behavioral science and/or public health. For NCI, high priority topics include Bioethics, Comparative Effectiveness Research, Enabling Technologies, Genomics, Information Technology for Processing Health Care Data for Research, and Translational Science. Applicants can apply to any of the broad challenge areas. For a complete listing of these NCI Challenge Topics, see http://challenge.nci.nih.gov/.
