Synopsis

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.

Every organization in the application must be in an IDeA-eligible state.

An organization can only be involved in one IDeA-CTR-type award at a time. Organizations may not serve as a lead, partner or otherwise participate with an active Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). Organizations must meet all eligibility rules at the time of application submission and award. Additional Eligibility Criteria for Lead OrganizationsTo apply as the lead, the organization must: Already have externally-funded clinical and translational (C&T) research. Additional Eligibility Criteria for Partner OrganizationsTo participate as a partner, the organization mustBe in the same state or multi-state region as the lead organization. Note: Active awards include awards in no-cost extension (NCE).An organization that currently leads an active IDeA-CTR-type award may submit a new application if substantial changes to the CTR are proposed. If the new application is funded, the current award will be administratively ended before the new award begins.
