What the grant funds

The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program supports biomedical research capacity building in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding. One such program, the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) award, supports clinical and translational (C&T) research capacity building to enable research on diseases and health challenges prevalent in IDeA states. Significantly increasing the number of clinical trials and complex observational studies in IDeA states is a pressing need that requires continued efforts to strengthen clinical research capacity and employ innovative approaches that maximize the use of existing resources. The IDeA Clinical Research Resource Center (I-CRRC) was funded in 2023 to increase the capacity in IDeA states to conduct clinical trials and complex observational studies by: strengthening communication and developing collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA states and clinical trial sponsors; and developing clinical research coordinators with the knowledge and skills to manage clinical trials and complex observational studies. The goals of the continuance of the I-CCRC program are to: Address research design and compliance barriers associated with conducting clinical trials and complex observational studies. Strengthen communication and develop collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA-eligible states and clinical trial sponsors. Train clinical trial and observational study coordinators with the knowledge and skills to manage clinical studies. Provide professional development and research methodology-training services to professional staff and research investigators. Build real world data research infrastructure to engage practice-based research networks/community clinics and multi-site clinical trials to increase participation, efficiency, and impact. This is a Forecast for a Single Source that will invite an application from an eligible organization to apply. Please see Eligibility Section for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application will be peer-reviewed, and only a meritorious application will be considered for funding.
