Mechanism of Support
- The CRSP will provide 75% salary support for junior faculty members, as well as associated fringe benefits, for up to 2 years. The total salary must be based on a 12-month appointment and the level of effort related to CRSP activities. In all cases, the salary requested must be consistent with the level of effort.
- The CRSP will provide support for tuition and fees related to multidisciplinary clinical research training.
- The CRSP will provide support for books related to multidisciplinary clinical research training.
- The CRSP will provide up to $1,500 support to travel to the annual NIH meeting for scholars and to one additional training or scientific meeting per year.
- The CRSP will provide, typically, $25,000 per year that will be used to provide support for a scholar-initiated project. This money can be used for:
- Research expenses, such as supplies, equipment, and personnel.
- Statistical and data management services.
- Other project infrastructure, including relevant datasets.
- The CRSP will also provide consultative support through its Research Development Core (RDC). RDC members will offer expert consultations on grant writing, research methodology, measurement adaptation and evaluation, form design, protocol preparation, data management, data collection, and analysis.
Note: Scholars are prohibited from retaining any compensation or fees that are not used for activities related to research and training. The unused funds must be turned over to the grantee institution for disposition.
