Description
This limited competition opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports institutional mentored research career development programs as part of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program. The program aims to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into clinical and community health interventions by funding academic medical centers to provide infrastructure, training, and collaboration opportunities. Specifically, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support institutional programs designed to prepare later-stage postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty for successful, independent careers in clinical and translational science.
Institutions funded through this mechanism are expected to offer structured, mentored research and career development experiences, fostering timely advancement and sustained engagement in translational research.
