Eligibility for this initiative is limited to institutions with minority health research centers or health disparities research centers funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). -This FOA will use the NCCAM exploratory/developmental grant (R21) mechanisms. The R21 is not renewable. -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 also will vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the type of research (preclinical and clinical research projects have different parameters), quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Eligible organizations: Domestic, for-profit or non-profit organizations, public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; or units of State and local governments. Foreign institutions are not eligible. -Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the PD/PI is invited to work with his/her institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.
