Additional Information on Eligibility: Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. The CNRU Director, who is the Principal Investigator on the P30 application and Director of the Administrative Core, should be a scientist who can provide effective administrative and scientific leadership and can demonstrate proficiency in managing a large, multi-component project. The Director will be responsible for the organization and operation of the CNRU and for communication with the NIDDK on scientific and operational matters. Center Directors are required, and their administrators are strongly encouraged, to attend an annual meeting to be held at a location to be determined by the NIDDK. Funds for travel to this meeting should be included in the budget for the Administrative Core of the Center. Successful CNRU applications require an existing program of excellence in biomedical research in the areas of basic and clinical research related to the nutritional sciences, obesity, and related disorders. To justify Core Center support, the CNRU must serve a strong research base that has a consistent and outstanding record in NIH and other peer-reviewed funding. The research base grants must be summarized in accordance with the Administrative Guidelines for NIDDK Clinical Nutrition Research Units (CNRU). (See Application Procedures.) http://www.niddk.nih.gov/fund/other/centers/cnru-guidelines.pdf At least 50 percent of the nutritional sciences, obesity, and related disorders research comprising the research base must be supported by Federal Agencies. As stated under the Review Criteria in this document, the most important component of a CNRU is an ongoing, strong research base in nutritional sciences, obesity, and related disorders. Scientific personnel and institutional resources capable of supporting the research base must be available. In addition, the institution and pertinent departments must show a strong commitment to the Center s support. Such commitment may be provided as dedicated space, staff recruitment, salary support for investigators, dedicated equipment, or other financial support for the proposed Center. See annoucement for additional eligibility information.
