Exceptional, Unconventional Research Enabling Knowledge Acceleration (EUREKA)

Agency: 
NIH

The purpose of the EUREKA (Exceptional Unconventional Research Enabling Knowledge Acceleration) initiative is to foster exceptionally innovative research that, if successful, will have an unusually high impact on the areas of science that are germane to the mission of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes. EUREKA is for new projects, not for continuation of existing projects. Nor is EUREKA for support of pilot projects, i.e., projects of limited scope that are designed primarily to generate data that will enable the PI to seek other funding opportunities. Rather, it is anticipated that EUREKA projects will begin and be completed during the funding period.

Deadline:
