AI Contract Overview
The contract pertains to the continuation of funding for the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Clinical Research Resource Center (I-CRRC), a program aimed at enhancing biomedical research capacity in states that historically receive limited NIH funding. This initiative focuses on building clinical and translational research infrastructure to address the underrepresentation of clinical trials and complex observational studies in these regions. The I-CRRC supports the development of collaborations between health research institutions within IDeA states and clinical trial sponsors, while also increasing the number of trained clinical research coordinators capable of managing advanced clinical studies. The program's objectives include overcoming barriers related to research design and compliance, providing professional development and training in research methodologies for staff and investigators, and establishing a real-world data infrastructure. This infrastructure will facilitate engagement with practice-based research networks and community clinics to enhance participation and efficiency in multi-site clinical trials. The contract represents a forecast for a single source funding opportunity, with applications open to eligible organizations, subject to NIH's standard peer review process where only meritorious proposals will be considered for funding. The award is administered by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services.

Full Description
The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program supports biomedical research capacity building in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding. One such program, the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) award, supports clinical and translational (C&T) research capacity building to enable research on diseases and health challenges prevalent in IDeA states. Significantly increasing the number of clinical trials and complex observational studies in IDeA states is a pressing need that requires continued efforts to strengthen clinical research capacity and employ innovative approaches that maximize the use of existing resources. The IDeA Clinical Research Resource Center (I-CRRC) was funded in 2023 to increase the capacity in IDeA states to conduct clinical trials and complex observational studies by:
- strengthening communication and developing collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA states and clinical trial sponsors; and
- developing clinical research coordinators with the knowledge and skills to manage clinical trials and complex observational studies.
The goals of the continuance of the I-CCRC program are to:
- Address research design and compliance barriers associated with conducting clinical trials and complex observational studies.
- Strengthen communication and develop collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA-eligible states and clinical trial sponsors.
- Train clinical trial and observational study coordinators with the knowledge and skills to manage clinical studies.
- Provide professional development and research methodology-training services to professional staff and research investigators.
- Build real world data research infrastructure to engage practice-based research networks/community clinics and multi-site clinical trials to increase participation, efficiency, and impact.
This is a Forecast for a Single Source that will invite an application from an eligible organization to apply. Please see Eligibility Section for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application will be peer-reviewed, and only a meritorious application will be considered for funding.
