Medicine; Cardiovascular; Basic; Clinical; Translational Award Grant: Innovative Project Award |
To support highly innovative, high-impact research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate the field of cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular research. Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. Should you include information about preliminary work, then the proposal is not innovative. Proposals may also refer to existing, unanalyzed datasets and the types of data they contain (e.g., geospatial, demographic, billing, molecular) that could be leveraged in conducting the proposed work, but there should be no preliminary descriptive summaries of the data itself. Proposed work should not be the next logical step of previous work, but should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation, if successful. The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for clearly and explicitly articulating the project's innovation and the potential impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular research.The idea proposed here should not have been submitted in whole or in part in a previous proposal for AHA support. |
