NIAMS also has funding opportunities for R21 grants on specific topics. Preference in funding decisions for R21 grants will be given to projects within the NIAMS mission areas that are especially innovative, ground-breaking and have a high potential impact on these fields. New investigators are encouraged to apply for an R01 (see NOT-OD-09-013, "Revised New and Early Stage Investigator Policies) or an R03 (see NIAMS Small Grant Program for New Investigators). Projects of limited time and scope that do not meet these characteristics of innovative, ground-breaking research should consider applying for a small Research Project Grant (Parent R01)
