Core Centers for Clinical Research (CCCR) (P30 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) is planning to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to continue Core Centers for Clinical Research (CCCR) aimed at advancing methodological sciences in clinical research related to musculoskeletal, rheumatic, and skin diseases. The centers will focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions, featuring a strong Methodologic Core and a modest Administrative Core, with the optional inclusion of additional Resource Core(s). • The CCCRs are expected to develop novel methods, metrics, and outcome measures to address critical clinical research needs and knowledge gaps. • The centers will incorporate patient and community preferences and ensure community representation at all research stages. • The NOFO will not support centers focused on generating biological or genetic data or developing related technologies.
