The LEAP grant program will provide funding through two mechanisms: the LEAP-Research Scholar Grant, which supports independent research projects, and the LEAP-Team Award, which supports team-based projects. The availability of funding is for three LEAP-RSG awards or a combination of one LEAP-RSG award and one LEAP-Team award. A formal review of each LEAP grant will occur after 2 years to assess progress and allow for adjustment to specific aims if necessary. Additional URLs:
