DHHS - Partnerships for Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) Clinical Translational Research
PAR-09-066

Program Summary

This FOA issued by National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), National Institutes of Health, encourages U19 cooperative agreement applications. The goal of the Partnerships in CAM Clinical Translational Research (PCCTR) initiative is to foster development of translational tools that will contribute to rigorous clinical CAM research and further development of clinical research expertise and leadership at CAM institutions and in the field in general. It is expected that such tools will further the rigorous study of CAM practices that are already in wide use by the American public. CAM practitioners play a vital role in rigorous research on CAM. The PCCTR will support partnerships between faculty at CAM institutions and at highly research-intensive institutions in research projects directed towards the development of CAM clinical research translational tools, including approaches, tools and methodology that will make substantial contributions to the progress of CAM research. Each PCCTR must include at least two, but not more than three research projects throughout the funding period. Each PCCTR should unite CAM and conventional research institutions and individuals with complementary strengths in a synergistic fashion, such that the research and intellectual productivity of the proposed projects is likely to be substantially enhanced by the proposed collaborative partnership, the abilities of the proposed collaborators and the proposed PCCTR administrative structure.
 
UIC is restricted to one application.
