Trans-NIH Research Support

To provide support for new initiatives designed to address major opportunities and gaps in biomedical research that no single NIH institute could address alone, but which the agency as a whole can pursue to stimulate the progress of biomedical research and to catalyze changes that will serve to transform

credit:
new scientific knowledge into tangible benefits for public health.

Information on recent and current initiatives is available at http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/and at http://opasi.nih.gov .
