Clinical and Translational Research Infrastructure Network (CTR-IN) and Western Region IDeA Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Programs
Developmental Translational Team Grant (DTTG)
A long-term goal for MW CTR-IN and INBRE programs is to partner across IDeA programs in the region to enhance collaboration between clinical, preclinical and basic science investigators and their access to resources in support of biomedical research. The long-term goal of this program is to build extramurally-funded collaborative CTR- INBRE projects engaging clinical, pre-clinical and basic science researchers in Mountain West States to address critical regional health disparities issues. The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for a clinical investigator teamed with a basic science or a pre-clinical investigator to yield a project “proof-of-concept” for a subsequent, larger extramural (NIH, NSF, DoD, USDA, etc.) grant application. Moreover, the proposals should include how this funding will facilitate the team’s specific plan to apply for additional funding.

Due Date: February 5, 2022
Funding Amount: $20,000

Tufts IRACDA Program
Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards Program (IRACDA)
This NIH-funded program is designed to prepare talented postdoctoral scholars with the career skills needed to succeed in academic biomedical research. Scholars spend on average 75% of their time conducting bench research and 25% of their time in career development activities that will help them manage the multiple demands of a faculty position. Opportunities are available in a wide range of biomedical research disciplines. Teaching skills are developed through programs involving mentored classroom assignments at minority-serving colleges in the Boston area. Workshops on essential skills such as grant and manuscript writing, mentoring, lab management, and scientific presentations; as well as on teaching methods that encourage active learning. The training components are sequenced to allow scholars to balance the activities and to build on previous experiences. IRACDA scholars receive up to four years of salary support with benefits package, and a yearly travel and supply fund. They complete the program ready to manage a successful research program, teach courses to diverse student populations, and balance the multi-faceted demands inherent in a career as an academic scientist.
