Description: |
21st Century Research Awards are designed to support research projects with a high probability of generating new knowledge and insights. Projects submitted for funding consideration should be at an early, even preliminary stage of development, and should be intended to break new ground or to challenge commonly-held assumptions. Projects submitted should be sufficiently novel, cross-disciplinary, or heterodox so that they have a strong likelihood of influencing the development of new ways of thinking about important problems. Potential applicants should carefully review all posted materials and make a determination regarding goodness of fit. All projects must qualify for one of the 21st Century Science Initiative's two program areas (See below) awarding 21st Century Initiative Research Awards.
- Studying Complex Systems
- Brain Cancer Research |
