Pilot Training and Research Program; Demonstration Project; Studies in Clinical Pharmacology and New Drug Review Technologies; Availability of Cooperative Agreements; Request for Applications

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is announcing the anticipated availability of funds for training and research cooperative agreements for fiscal year (FY) 2000. This pilot program is a demonstration project to evaluate the extent to which such a program can contribute to an identifiable increase in the number of trained biomedical, scientific personnel in clinical pharmacology. Research will be conducted to study clinical pharmacology and biopharmaceutics issues related to new drug development and review. If funds are appropriated in FY 2000 for the program, FDA anticipates that approximately $3.0 million will be available. FDA anticipates making 4 to 10 cooperative agreement awards to domestic medical schools at $300,000 to $750,000 per award per year (direct and indirect costs). Support for these agreements may be for up to 3 years. The number of agreements funded will depend on the quality of the applications received and the availability of Federal funds to support the projects.
