Description: Purpose. The Purpose of this initiative is to support the development of infrastructure required for the conduct of clinical and translational research in institutions funded via the Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) program.The RCMI Infrastructure for Clinical and Translational Research (RCTR) represents a re-organization of the existing RCMI programmatic activities in support of clinical and translational research [RCMI Clinical Research Infrastructure Initiative (RCRII) P20 Awards, Centers of Clinical Research Excellence (CCRE) U54 Awards, and Comprehensive Centers on Health Disparities (CCHD) U54 Awards]. This re-organization is developed to improve collaboration and coordination of clinical and translational research programs within RCMI institutions, foster collaborations and partnerships with other institutions, and improve efficiency in the management of awards while reducing costs of administrative activities.This re-organization also presents an opportunity to enhance research training and career development efforts across the institutions and enhance synergy with the Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) R25 awards and/or other institutional training programs. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Cooperative Agreement (U54) grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Budget and Project Period. Applicants may request a project period of up to 5 years. Current RCRII P20 Awards, and CCRE or CCHD U54 Cooperative Agreements held by successful applicants will transition into the RCTR.
