NIAMS offers the Research Innovation for Scientific Knowledge (RISK) Grant for Skin and Rheumatic Diseases to support innovative research in non-traditional areas within the NIAMS mission. This grant encourages unconventional hypotheses and groundbreaking concepts related to skin and rheumatic diseases. It aims to fund translational studies focused on understanding disease mechanisms and developing diagnostics or therapeutics, excluding first in human studies. The RISK grant is ideal for projects deemed too risky or controversial for other NIH mechanisms. Applications for the R61/R33 initiative are welcomed until January 9, 2020.

| Description: | The NIAMS Research Innovation for Scientific Knowledge (RISK) for Skin and Rheumatic Diseases (R61/R33) 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. This FOA is particularly designed to encourage the submission of projects that are considered too risky, premature, controversial, or unconventional for other NIH mechanisms. This FOA intends to support disease-focused translational studies. We invite research studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms of diseases or conditions relevant to the NIAMS mission, as well as studies aimed at developing or testing diagnostics, therapeutic agents, or preventive interventions up to, but not including, first in human studies. The RISK R61/R33 FOAs are not intended to support clinical trials. |
