Grant Description

Purpose. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites educational and research institutions to apply for the Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA). CRCA awards will be made exclusively to institutions that are not yet participants in a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). Applications in response to this RFA may be either new or competitive renewals of existing K30 programs and awards will be for three years. NCRR will be the review and funding institute for CRCA applications submitted in response to this FOA. The CRCA is an award to institutions that addresses, in part, the NIH's commitment to improve the quality of training in clinical research. This RFA is intended to stimulate the inclusion of high-quality didactic training as part of the career development of clinical investigators from diverse scientific backgrounds and disciplines. These programs prepare undergraduate, predoctoral, or postdoctoral candidates, or combinations of these, to conduct research in team settings that are highly interdisciplinary and collaborative. The courses and curricula should be organized around interdisciplinary research themes. To achieve the necessary breadth and diversity of courses, proposals should include multiple departments and may include multiple centers, schools or institutions.
