The Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program supports biomedical research capacity building in states that have historically received low levels of NIH funding. One such program, the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) award, supports clinical and translational (C&T) research capacity building to enable research on diseases and health challenges prevalent in IDeA states. Significantly increasing the number of clinical trials and complex observational studies in IDeA states is a pressing need that requires continued efforts to strengthen clinical research capacity and employ innovative approaches that maximize the use of existing resources. The IDeA Clinical Research Resource Center (I-CRRC) was funded in 2023 to increase the capacity in IDeA states to conduct clinical trials and complex observational studies by:strengthening communication and developing collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA states and clinical trial sponsors; anddeveloping clinical research coordinators with the knowledge and skills to manage clinical trials and complex observational studies.The goals of the continuance of the I-CCRC program are to:Address research design and compliance barriers associated with conducting clinical trials and complex observational studies.Strengthen communication and develop collaborations between health research institutions in IDeA-eligible states and clinical trial sponsors.Train clinical trial and observational study coordinators with t
