A major goal of the NIH is to foster bold and creative investigator-initiated research. The NIH has created the Transformative Research Projects Program (R01) to enhance submission and support of exceptionally innovative, high risk, original and/or unconventional research that has the potential to create new or challenge existing scientific paradigms. The T-R01 program will be piloting novel approaches to peer review and program management to facilitate identification and support of groundbreaking advances, unproven concepts and truly transformative ideas.
The NIH encourages Transformative Research Projects Program (R01) applications from scientists representing all disciplines relevant to the NIH mission, including the biological, behavioral, clinical, social, physical, chemical, computational, engineering, and mathematical sciences.
Additional information about the Transformative R01 Program and a link to the current FOA is available at: http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/T-R01/. The Frequently Asked Questions for this FOA will be posted around November 1, 2009.

Funded through the NIH Common Fund, these programs cut across the missions of individual NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) and are intended to accelerate the translation of research to improvements in public health. in collaboration with all NIH ICs, oversees programs funded by the Common Fund. Additional information about the NIH Roadmap and Common Fund can be found at www.nihroadmap.nih.gov.
