Those participating in clinical trials should resemble the people who are most likely to get the diseases being studied. Right now, that’s not happening. Despite representing a large portion of the U.S. population, only a small portion of underrepresented communities are involved in clinical trials. Winn CDA looks to change this.
Improving participation in clinical trials isn’t just a nice idea, it’s a powerful tool for driving better health outcomes. It helps us learn how new medicines work for different people, and tailor treatments to them. It also gives us a range of data that can help doctors make better choices when treating patients. Finally, it’s a crucial step toward improving the health and lives of all communities.
The Robert A. Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials: Career Development Award (Winn CDA), supported by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, is a 2-yr program designed to support the career development of early-stage investigator physicians who have a demonstrated commitment to transforming and expanding access to the clinical research landscape. They will become community-oriented clinical trialists who will drive improved health outcomes through their research and mentoring. Currently, our clinical research areas include cancer, cardiovascular disease and immunologic disorders.
Deadline: May 12, 2025
While physicians from groups underrepresented in medicine are highly encouraged to apply, you do not have to fall under the URiM population to participate in this program. If you have a demonstrated commitment (reflected in your CV or past publications) to increasing diverse patient populations in clinical trials, you may be eligible to apply.
Eligible candidates will need to be US Citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) as defined by the US Department of Homeland Security or hold a H-1B or O-1 Visa. The Visa must be valid during the full program period.
New or early stage investigators are eligible to apply for the Winn CDA program. As defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a new investigator has completed his or her terminal research degree or medical residency—whichever date is later—within the past 10 years and has not yet competed successfully for a substantial, competing NIH research grant. Applicants with an RO1 or RO1 equivalent are ineligible.
