Full grants of up to $2.25 million over five years are awarded to established teams with key investigators from at least three disciplines. Up to three full grants will be awarded in 2005. Teams of at least three key investigators whose primary expertise lie in different disciplines are eligible to pply. Key investigators must have advanced degrees (M.D., Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or the equivalent), and one of the key investigators must be a clinical researcher. The team leader must work in a United States nonprofit institution, such as an academic medical center. The team may include investigators at other institutions in the United States and overseas.
