Early Investigator Research Award
Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance will not exceed $500,000.
Purpose: The PRP EIRA supports research opportunities for investigators in the early stages of their careers, under the guidance of one or two designated Mentor(s). The Early Investigator is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) of the application and must exhibit strong potential for, and commitment to, pursuing a career as an investigator at the forefront of PD research; however, the PI is not required to have previous PD research experience. Applications must include at least one Mentor, appropriate to the proposed research project, who has experience in PD research and mentoring as demonstrated by a record of active funding, recent publications, and successful mentorship.
Eligibility: To be named as the PI on the application, the investigator must be a postdoctoral or clinical fellow, instructor, or assistant professor within 10 years of advanced degree training or residency training completion. A Career Development PI Waiver is required for applicants without PI eligibility.

This award is designed to support both new and pre-existing partnerships and encourages participation of PIs from other research fields. The PRP Synergistic Idea Award seeks applications from investigators working in a wide spectrum of disciplines including, but not limited to, basic science, engineering, bioinformatics, population science, translational research, and clinical research.
Eligibility: Independent investigators - Faculty with PI eligibility and CE faculty (with an approved CE faculty PI waiver obtained through their RPM in RMG prior to the pre-application/letter of intent) may be the PI.
