Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages the submission of applications requiring multi-project, synergistic collaborations blending multiple research approaches from outstanding multidisciplinary research teams. This Center of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Integrative Health (CERCIH) program is designed to support three or more highly meritorious projects that can offer significant scientific advantages and "synergy" that could not be achieved by supporting the same projects as individual research grants. Each CERCIH must be focused on questions of high relevance to the mission of NCCIH and high research priority based on the current Strategic Plan. Applications in response to this FOA may propose to involve human participants in mechanistic studies, but this FOA will not support clinical trials of efficacy or effectiveness.
