Description: The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Institutes of Health, invites new and renewal applications for Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Centers (MCRCs) in arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, and/or skin diseases. Each MCRC will be organized around a methodology core. In addition to this core, each center must include a minimum of two highly meritorious clinical projects focused on diseases or conditions within the NIAMS mission (http://www.niams.nih.gov/Funding/Funding_Opportunities/Supported_Scientific_Areas/default.asp). The methodology core will be the foundation of the MCRC, providing key support for the development and implementation of clinical projects. Each clinical project must address a critical issue that directly involves prevention, assessment and/or outcomes for patients with chronic diseases or conditions within the mission of the NIAMS. The MCRCs will build on a meritorious research base and are expected to leverage existing institutional infrastructure resources. Clinical trials will not be supported by this funding mechanism.
