Science without risk is... boring. Incremental. Safe. We asked current recipients of NIH's High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program to fill in the blank, and their answers say it all. 🎥👇 The HRHR Program exists for the ideas too bold, too early, or too unconventional for traditional funding pathways. The scientists in this video are proof of what happens when you bet on transformative thinking. 💡 Got a high-risk, high-reward idea? Funding opportunities are open now. Learn more and apply:

How does NIH’s Unified Funding Strategy strengthen scientific stewardship? 🔬 Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), explains how the new plan allows us to identify research gaps while also identifying areas of redundancy, making it easier to fund the science most likely to bring about new benefits to human health. Hear more from NIH leadership at the upcoming webinar “Understanding NIH’s Unified Funding Strategy: What the Research Community Needs to Know” ➡️

“It is absolutely vital that NIH investments are geographically dispersed. The way we combat scientific groupthink is by empowering researchers across the country, no matter where they are, to have a great opportunity if they have great ideas for NIH funding.” - Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD

🧬 Take a look inside a 3D tissue bioprinting lab! NIH postdoctoral fellow Dr. Cristina Antich Acedo demonstrates how cutting-edge bioprinting can recreate human tissue structure. By combining different cell types and biomaterials, researchers can mimic real biological environments with precision. 🔬 This technology helps accelerate the path from discovery to treatment: • More predictive preclinical models • Reduced reliance on animal testing • Faster, more accurate drug development

WATCH: Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD on Charlie Kirk discussing new #NIH policy: “We are going to limit the amount of money the NIH is willing to pay to scientific journals for having the scientific publications paid for by taxpayers available for free. There’s no good reason for scientific journals to charge twice.”
