Limited Competition: Institutional Development Award (IDeA) for Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) (P30 - CT Optional)

The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) for Clinical and Translational Research program is a National Institutes of Health initiative designed to expand biomedical research capacity in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding. This limited competition funding opportunity offers two distinct programmatic tracks to address diseases and health challenges prevalent in these specific regions. The IDeA CTR Development track focuses on enhancing infrastructure and workforce development at individual health research organizations with limited clinical research capacity. Alternatively, the IDeA CTR Network track supports statewide or multi-state networks of organizations to expand existing infrastructure, coordinate clinical research activities, and improve the ability to design and implement competitive research programs. Applications for this solicitation are subject to a standard NIH peer-review process, and only meritorious submissions will be considered for funding. The program is managed by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services. Interested organizations must review specific eligibility requirements outlined in the solicitation before applying. The response deadline for this funding opportunity is May 30, 2029, and inquiries can be directed to the National Institutes of Health point of contact via the provided email or telephone information.
