Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AT 19 010
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), part of the National Institutes of Health within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, offered this limited-competition grant opportunity to strengthen clinical research training in complementary and integrative health. The goal is to build the field's ability to conduct rigorous, high-quality clinical research by developing clinician-scientists who can work effectively on multidisciplinary research teams. The mechanism is a T90/R90 institutional training partnership, focused on mentored, hands-on research experiences combined with structured instruction in clinical research methods and integrative health-related content aligned with NCCIH's strategic priorities.
A central feature of the program is the required partnership between two types of institutions: one with a strong research infrastructure and a research-intensive environment (such as an institution supported by a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) or with established NIH training programs like T32s), and another that primarily trains practitioners in complementary modalities and disciplines and has faculty interested in conducting rigorous clinical research. In practice, the intent is to bridge the gap that often exists between clinical training in complementary health professions and the resources, culture, and methodology expertise found in major research settings. By linking these environments, the program aims to create a training pipeline where clinically trained practitioners gain strong research skills while remaining connected to integrative health practice settings and questions.
The training model supported under this funding emphasizes mentored clinical research training, meaning trainees and participants are expected to learn by actively engaging in real research projects under the guidance of experienced mentors or co-mentors. Alongside that experiential component, the program supports didactic activities that build core competencies in clinical research methodology, such as study design, biostatistics, research ethics, data management, and the practical conduct of clinical studies. The larger expected outcome is a sustained cadre of clinician-scientists capable of contributing to well-designed, team-based complementary and integrative health research that meets modern standards for rigor, reproducibility, and clinical relevance.
A key limitation is built into the FOA's clinical trial policy: appointed T90 trainees and R90 participants are not allowed to lead an independent clinical trial as the responsible trial lead. However, they are permitted to gain meaningful clinical trial experience by working on trials that are led by a mentor or co-mentor. This structure is designed to allow trainees to learn the realities of clinical trials, including recruitment, intervention delivery, monitoring, and analysis, without placing the primary regulatory and scientific responsibility of trial leadership on early-stage trainees.
This was a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA AT 19 010) in the health category, associated with CFDA 93.213. It was released on April 17, 2019, with an original application due date of January 24, 2020. The opportunity was set up as a renewal solicitation rather than an open call for entirely new programs, meaning it targeted existing training partnerships seeking continued support. The expected number of awards was one, signaling a highly selective process with a narrow scope and strong emphasis on continuity and demonstrated performance. While an "Award Ceiling" value is listed as 0 in the source data, that typically reflects a posting-field convention rather than a meaningful statement that no funding is available; the actual budget structure would be defined in the full FOA text and NIH policy guidance.
Eligible applicants included a broad range of organizations, such as public and private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), and eligible Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, along with other applicants as described in the FOA's additional eligibility language. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment in training infrastructure and cross-institution collaboration, aimed at producing clinicians with the methodological skills and research experience needed to advance complementary and integrative health through credible, team-based clinical research.Apply for RFA AT 19 010
