Funding Opportunity RFA-MD-20-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. NIMHD invites applications from eligible institutions to establish a national coordinating center (CC) for NIMHD-funded Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMIs). The primary goals of RCMI Specialized Centers are to: (1) enhance institutional research capacity within the areas of basic biomedical, behavioral, and/or clinical research; (2) enable all levels of investigators to become more successful in obtaining competitive extramural support, especially from NIH, particularly on diseases that disproportionately impact minority and other health disparity populations; (3) foster environments conducive to career enhancement with a special emphasis on development of early career investigators; (4) enhance the quality of all scientific inquiry and promote research on minority health and health disparities; and (5) establish sustainable relationships with community-based organizations that partner with RCMI centers.
