Collaborative Program Grant for Interdisciplinary Teams (RM1 Clinical Trial Optional)

The Collaborative Program Grant for Interdisciplinary Teams (PAR-27-003) is a federal solicitation issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences under the National Institutes of Health. This funding opportunity is designed to support integrated research teams consisting of three to six Program Directors or Principal Investigators who are working toward a single, focused scientific goal. The program emphasizes the necessity of synergy and meaningful interaction, requiring that the proposed objectives be too ambitious to be achieved through individual efforts or a mere collection of separate projects. The initiative encourages teams to pursue far-reaching objectives capable of producing major advances within their respective fields, with clinical trials listed as an optional component. Interested parties must submit their responses by the deadline of September 27, 2029. This solicitation targets interdisciplinary collaboration to solve challenging research questions that demand a highly integrated team approach.
