 As
you develop your Research Plan, remember that principal
investigators should have a culturally sensitive outreach
plan involving relevant people and organizations,
e.g., family, religious organizations,
and community leaders, with a goal of building trust through communication
and cooperation.
In some cases, conducting a community consultation may
benefit potential participants and your study. Although a community
consultation is not required, NIH supports and encourages it in many
areas of research. To learn more, read Points
to Consider When Planning a Genetic Study That Involves Members of
Named Populations.
Some NIAID divisions require
your protocol in the application. To
find out if this is the case, and see other instructions, read the RFA to which you're responding. If
you still have questions, contact the program officer in the relevant program.
For contact information, see Stay
in Contact With Your Program Officer.
