Single Source: Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Clinical Research Resource Center (I-CRRC)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking an application for the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Clinical Research Resource Center (I-CRRC). The goal of the I-CRRC is to increase the capacity of institutions in IDeA-eligible states to conduct clinical trials and complex observational studies. The I-CRRC aims to achieve this by strengthening communication and collaborations between health research institutions and clinical trial sponsors, developing clinical research coordinators, and providing professional development and research methodology training services. • The I-CRRC will address research design and compliance barriers associated with conducting clinical trials and complex observational studies. • The I-CRRC will strengthen communication and develop collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA-eligible states and clinical trial sponsors. • The I-CRRC will train clinical trial and observational study coordinators with the knowledge and skills to manage clinical studies. • The I-CRRC will provide professional development and research methodology-training services to professional staff and research investigators. • The I-CRRC will 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.
