What This Grant Funds

The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program develops biomedical research capacity in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding (IDeA states). The IDeA Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) program supports two programmatic tracks to build clinical and translational (C&T) research capacity to enable research on diseases and health challenges prevalent in IDeA states. IDeA CTR Development (CTR-D) awards focus on C&T research workforce development and infrastructure enhancement at health research organizations with limited clinical research capacity in IDeA states. IDeA CTR Network (CTR-N) awards support statewide (or multi-state) networks of health research organizations to expand existing infrastructure, develop the research workforce to enhance the network organization's ability to design and implement competitive C&T research programs, and coordinate clinical research activities state-wide and/or across IDeA states.This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Limited Competition that will invite application(s) from eligible organization(s) to apply. Please see Section III. Eligibility for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application(s) will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious application(s) will be considered.
