Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) in Minority Institutions (R25): -The National Center for Research Resources joins National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institute on Aging, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in inviting minority institutions with professional schools offering doctoral degrees in one or more health care disciplines to apply for a Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) grant. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to encourage both current CRECD awardee institutions in the final year of funding and eligible institutions that have not received previous CRECD award to apply. These awards are intended to support development and implementation of curriculum-dependent programs in minority institutions to train selected doctoral and postdoctoral candidates in clinical research leading to a Master of Science in Clinical Research or Master of Public Health in a clinically relevant area. A successful program will result in an accredited master's degree program to produce trained clinical researchers who can become part of translational and/or patient-oriented research projects. -This FOA has two phases: (1) an initial two-year Phase I to develop and offer a structured didactic course work and mentored clinical research training leading to a degree in Master of Science in Clinical Research or Master of Public Health for qualified and selected candidates; (2) Phase II of the program will provide continued mentoring and career development to the selected CRECD graduates for up to three years in clinical research as part of their training and skill development to become independent clinical investigators. -This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism.
