R01 Grant

An R01 grant is a type of funding provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support research projects in health and medicine. It is often awarded to experienced investigators to pursue specific scientific questions, develop new knowledge, or test innovative ideas. The grant provides financial resources to cover expenses like personnel, equipment, and materials needed to conduct the research. R01 grants are highly competitive and are considered a hallmark of independent, investigator-initiated research, helping scientists advance understanding and improve health outcomes.
