UPDATE: The video from this webinar is now available.

We’re pleased to announce that the notice of funding opportunity for the Tribal Institutional Review Board Establishment and Enhancement (TIRBEE) program has been published (PAR-24-260). TIRBEE supports federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations to establish institutional review boards (IRBs) or enhance the capacity of existing Tribal IRBs. The program seeks to give Tribes greater autonomy over their own research processes and is part of the response to needs identified through a formal Tribal consultation [PDF] NIGMS conducted in 2021.

We’ve published the funding announcements for our new Tribal Undergraduate to Graduate Research Training and Leadership Experiences (TURTLE) program. TURTLE will support federally recognized American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) Tribes, Tribal Colleges or Universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations (collectively termed, eligible Tribal entities) to identify and develop a pool of scientists to conduct research on AI/AN health and health disparities.

UPDATE: The CTR-N webinar slides [PDF] and the CTR-D video and CTR-D webinar slides [PDF] and the CTR-N video are now available.

If you’re planning to apply to the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Network (CTR-N) (PAR-23-241) or the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Development (CTR-D) (PAR-23-257) programs, don’t miss our upcoming webinars. The next application due date for both programs is October 9, 2024.

UPDATE: The video and slides [PDF] for this webinar are now available.

We’re pleased to share the notice of funding opportunity for the Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Planning Grants (PAR-24-041). This program supports Tribal entities, including federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal health programs, and Tribal organizations, to plan and conduct preparatory work for developing competitive NARCH S06 applications. The NARCH Planning Grant awards aim at expanding the reach of the NARCH S06 program, which supports health-related research, research career enhancement, and research infrastructure enhancement.

I’m pleased to announce two funding opportunity notices that support clinical and translational research (CTR) in Institutional Development Award (IDeA) states: the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Network (CTR-N) award (PAR-23-241), and the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Development (CTR-D) award (PAR-23-257). 

These programs support clinical and translational research at IDeA-eligible institutions through programs that develop research infrastructure and human resources, equip investigators and institutions to develop competitive clinical research programs, and strengthen collaborative research that addresses health conditions prevalent in IDeA states. A reissue of PAR-20-175, the CTR-N award continues support for statewide or multistate regional networks in IDeA states that have been conducting significant levels of clinical and translational research. The new CTR-D award supports clinical and translational research, workforce development, and infrastructure enhancement at health research organizations with limited clinical and translational research capacity, to help them build a foundation and enable recipients to conduct research on diseases and health challenges faced by the populations they serve.
