The program offers various funding options including the IDEA Award, Impact Award, Translational Team Science Award, Behavioral Health Science Award, and Career Development Award. Each funding opportunity has specific requirements and review processes. It is important for applicants to carefully read the funding opportunities and address the focus areas and challenges outlined by the program. Applicants must submit pre-proposals or letters of intent before the submission deadline. Successful applications will demonstrate innovation, impact on patients, feasibility, and alignment with program objectives. Funding amounts and periods vary depending on the award category.
