Deadline: 7 January 2020
National Institutes of Health is currently inviting applications for its Center of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Integrative Health (CERCIH) program with an aim 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.
The purpose of NCCIH’s Centers of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Integrative Health (CERCIH) program is to support synergistic, multidisciplinary, multi-project research programs that have strong potential to significantly advance the mission of NCCIH and address areas of high research priority, as described in its current Strategic Plan. Basic, mechanistic, and translational approaches are appropriate for the CERCIH, but should not propose clinical trials of efficacy/effectiveness.
