Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA)
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA) provides support for the UCC Extramural Associate Program. The EARDA program aims to enhance faculty opportunities to conduct biomedical and behavioral research, develop skills in the fundamentals of preparing research grant applications, and develop collaborative arrangements with other academic institutions for the purpose of promoting biomedical and behavioral research.

Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI)
RCMI support is provided by the NCRR Division of Research Infrastructure (DRI). It provides funding to recruit established and promising researchers, acquire advanced instrumentation, modify laboratories for competitive research, fund core research facilities, and other research support. Because many investigators at RCMI institutions study diseases that disproportionately affect minorities, NCRR support serves the dual purpose of bringing more minority scientists into mainstream research and enhancing studies of minority health.

Specialized Neuroscience Research Programs (SNRP)
The Specialized Neuroscience Research Programs at Minority Institutions strives to help minority institutions develop state-of-the-art neuroscience research programs; to increase ongoing research, stimulating academic and intellectual milieu that will inspire and prepare students and fellows to pursue research careers in neuroscience; and to provide support for the pilot research needed to show the skills and abilities of investigators by obtaining the preliminary data and publications that can help ensure successful competition for traditional research project grants during the performance period of the award.
