NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION - COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE BI-ANNUAL RESEARCH CENTERS IN MINORITY INSTITUTIONS (RCMI) INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIA ON HEALTH DISPARITIES AND PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS MEETINGS RELEASE DATE: April 11, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-RR-03-007 National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) (http://www.ncrr.nih.gov) The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) is announcing a limited competition for a cooperative agreement (U13) application to support the bi- annual Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) International Symposia on Health Disparities and the meeting of the Principal Investigators and Program Directors for the RCMI that precedes the symposia. The symposia include keynote lectures, plenary lectures and poster presentations in each of the health disparity areas. Meetings with the RCMI PIs are held to consider both scientific and administrative issues relevant to the mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Among the topics covered at the meetings are administrative and human subjects issues common to the RCMIs, the RCMI Clinical Research Centers and the Clinical Research Education and Career Development Awards. Scientific topics, likewise, pertain to the unique aspects of the RCMIs and the mission of the NIH. In order to provide oversight for this grant, the applicant must be familiar with the content and application of NCRR's "Guidelines for Research Centers in Minority Institutions" and other pertinent policy documents distributed by NCRR to its RCMIs. As a result, this competition is limited to institutions with active RCMI grants. NCRR will fund only one application for the bi-annual meetings for up to five years. Awards made under this solicitation will use the cooperative agreement (U13) grant mechanism. The rules and regulations that apply to conference cooperative agreements (U13) are the same as those that apply to conference grants (R13) with one important distinction. After the award is issued, the NCRR staff will be substantially involved in the planning and conduct of the scientific program-related meeting, assisting the Principal Investigator according to the specific Terms and Conditions of the Award. The deadline for receipt of applications is October 1, 2003.
