Description
The RPB / LCIF Award is intended to provide seed funding for high-risk/high-gain, innovative, cutting-edge research which demonstrates out-of-the-box thinking.

Intervention development, proof of concept studies, and feasibility studies are eligible.

The purpose of the award is to serve as a catalyst to specific lines/kinds of research not currently happening.
