The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the development of infrastructure and other resources required for the conduct of Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) in IDeA-eligible states.
IDeA-CTR Centers are expected to provide added value to the biomedical research
credit:
efforts in the participating institutions through support of activities that cannot easily be provided through standard research grant awards.
The proposed activities will provide the infrastructure and resources that will enhance the competitiveness of the investigators to obtain additional funding for clinical and translational research.
Applicants must establish a statewide network of collaborating and partnering institutions/organizations.
Other institutions/organizations outside the state may be included if forming a network of wider reach.
Since only one award will be made per IDeA-eligible state, only one application should be submitted per state.
