Summary
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.
