The NIAMS department offers the Research Innovation for Scientific Knowledge (RISK) grant initiative to foster unconventional and pioneering research in line with their mission. The program encourages high-risk projects that challenge existing theories, explore innovative concepts, and push boundaries in musculoskeletal disease research. Designed for projects deemed too risky for traditional NIH mechanisms, RISK supports disease-focused translational studies while excluding first-in-human trials. The RISK program aims to drive groundbreaking discoveries and paradigm shifts in musculoskeletal diseases research. Applications for the RISK grant must be submitted by Oct 18, 2016.

| Description: | The NIAMS Research Innovation for Scientific Knowledge (RISK) initiative focuses on innovative research within the NIAMS mission by encouraging applicants to pursue unusual observations, test imaginative hypotheses, investigate creative concepts, and build ground-breaking paradigms, all of which deviate significantly from the current prevailing theories or practice. The RISK program is particularly designed to encourage the submission of projects that are considered too risky, premature, controversial, or unconventional for other NIH mechanisms. The RISK program intends to support disease-focused translational studies, up to, but not including, first in human studies. The RISK R61/R33 FOAs are not intended to support clinical trials. |
