NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION REQUEST FOR COMPETING APPLICATIONS:
CENTERS OF CLINICAL RESEARCH EXCELLENCE
RELEASE DATE: December 22, 2003
NOTICE: NOT-RR-04-003
National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)
(http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/)
APPLICATION RECEIPT DATE: April 20, 2004
The NCRR is requesting competing renewal applications from Centers of
Clinical Research Excellence (CCREs) awarded in response to a Request
for Applications (RFA) RR-99-005,
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RR-99-005.html). This
re-competition will continue the unique ongoing research, resource
development and recruitment programs of these CCREs for a one-time
renewal cycle.
The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) proposes to augment
and strengthen the institutional clinical research capabilities at NCRR-
supported Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMIs) with
affiliated medical schools. Continuing to provide support to recruit
established senior clinical research investigators with independent
research support will do this. They can serve as mentors to more junior
investigators and for those in junior career development in clinical
research. These new faculty will receive support to establish their
research laboratories, acquire specialized equipment, and support
postdoctoral fellows and technical assistants. It is anticipated that
they will serve as magnet investigators for the recruitment of other
research faculty who will compliment the specific research area.
Ideally, this research area will focus on one or more of the diseases
that disproportionately affect the indigenous populations served by the
RCMI institution. Long-range, it is anticipated that this will
facilitate the development of the institution's clinical research
capacity.
Support is contingent on availability of funds and eligibility is
restricted to CCREs previously awarded under RFA-RR-99-005.
Mechanism of support: The administrative funding mechanism for this
program is a Specialized Center Cooperative Agreement (U54).
Receipt date: Applications must be submitted by April 20, 2004.
Review: Appropriate review groups convened by the NCRR will evaluate
applications for scientific and technical merit with established review
criteria described as outlined in RFA-RR-99-005.
