NIH Issues RFA to Strengthen
Institution Human Subjects Protection Activities
March 8, 2002 - The National Institutes of Health
(NIH) March 5 issued a new Request
for Applications "to provide short-term interim support
for institutional activities that will strengthen oversight
of human subjects research at institutions that receive significant
NIH support for clinical research." NIH states that awards
are intended to support activities that "enhance the
protection of research subjects by means that will be sustained
by the institution after the award period ends." The
RFA states that this "is a one-time solicitation; it
is not anticipated that this RFA will be reissued."
Although all NIH components supporting clinical research
are providing support for this program, it will be administered
by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). NIH
intends to commit approximately $28.5 million in FY 2002 to
fund up to 174 grants in response to this RFA. The institutions
eligible to receive support under this program are listed
in the RFA.
Applications are due by May 7 and the anticipated award date
is Sept. 1, 2002.
