This activity is sponsored by the Clinical Pharmacology Program, Office of Clinical Research Training and Medical Education (OCRTME) at The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (CC) and it consists of elective rotations at the Office of Clinical Pharmacology (OCP) and the Office of New Drugs (OND) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research for NIH staff with a primary focus on clinical fellows and research fellows who expressed an interest in learning more about FDA regulatory sciences applicable to drug development research. Rotating fellows are mentored by FDA staff on the required elements of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application and the key elements of the FDA review process from a regulatory perspective. This program also established a mechanism for FDA scientific reviewers at the OCP to rotate at the NIH CC and to interact with members of a clinical research team, thus acquiring a better perspective on clinical research protocol implementation and the requirements of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the NIH.

The Center for Global Health of the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) in collaboration with the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) will hold regional grant writing and peer review workshops to encourage investigators to address public health issues through research. The objectives of the workshops are to (1) increase the participation of scientists from mid- to low-resource countries in the research grant process; (2) develop strategies for sustainable research support and collaborations, and; (3) use competitive research as a tool to address global health issues.
