This program is intended to support community engagement to develop funded research partnerships. Funds can be used for research development activities, including convening partners, working with individuals pursuing related work, and conducting needs assessments in community settings. The funds cannot be used to support actual human-subjects research protocols, which can be funded under other OSCTR pilot research programs and/or external funding.

The OCTSI has new resources to help you complete the NIH Human Subjects Section. This includes brief instructions for every section, links to key external resources, and samples that investigators can download and modify.  These resources, created by the OSCTR Science Writing Unit, are available at http://octsi.ouhsc.edu/NIH Overview.
