Summary
This is a federal grant opportunity issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers (IDDRCs) under a limited competition mechanism (P50 Specialized Center, Clinical Trial Optional). It targets established or new research centers focused on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), supporting multidisciplinary research programs. The P50 mechanism funds cooperative, multi-project research center grants, and the "Clinical Trial Optional" designation means applicants may include clinical trial components. The competition is limited, suggesting eligibility is restricted to a defined pool of applicants (e.g., existing IDDRC grantees or invited institutions).
