These teams should pursue a clear and significant scientific opportunity in an area of shared interest of relevance to NIAMS, and can undertake conceptually and technically novel approaches that would be less likely to succeed if undertaken by a more narrowly focused group of investigators. The NIAMS plans to provide up to 1 year of Revision support (formerly referred to as a competing supplement) to active NIAMS R01s to establish such collaborations for high innovation and potentially high impact research. It is understood that such an application may entail high risk. Teams developed under this award are expected to make significant advances beyond the progress expected from the individual researchers alone.
