Robert A. Winn Diversity In Clinical Trials Award Programs

Deadline: May 12, 2023

The application for the Robert A. Winn Career Development Award (Winn CDA) for early-stage investigator physicians will be open from January 3, 2023 through May 12, 2023.

The goal of the Robert A. Winn Career Development Award (Winn CDA) is to increase the diversity of patients enrolled in clinical trials, and ultimately to enhance the development of therapeutics for all populations. The program collaborates with communities to facilitate an approach to clinical and translational research that is community-informed, designed, and conducted. It provides emerging investigators the sponsorship, support, and tools they need to conduct clinical trials that will yield new treatments effective in all populations.

Commitment

To train and develop 290 new clinical investigators dedicated to increasing diversity in clinical trials (~60/year)
To provide immersive community-based experiences in clinical trial research to 60 underrepresented minority medical students participating in the Robert A. Winn Clinical Investigator Pathway Program (Winn CIPP) each summer.
