Description (from the official listing)

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.
