h- National Institutes of Health

The NIH, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the U.S.’s medical research agency—making important discoveries that improve health and save lives. It is the primary U.S. Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research. The NIH mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behaviour of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability.

The R33 award is to provide a second phase for the support for innovative exploratory and development research activities initiated under the R21 mechanism.

Budget

Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. In 2011, the R33 funded 126 awards totaling over $49.07 million. Source: AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program: R&D in the FY 2012 Budget. http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/fy2012/
