The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to provide tailored support for early stage investigators (ESIs) to initiate basic or translational research with nonhuman primates (NHPs). These awards will allow ESIs additional funds, time to generate preliminary data, and the opportunity to establish all skills needed to set up and run an NHP laboratory independently. It is expected that these awards will thereby improve an ESIs ability to secure larger research awards (e.g., R01) and will facilitate their transition to independent tenure-track positions.
