What is meant by collaborations and partnerships?
ANSWER. Each center will represent a partnership between a minority institution and one of the NICHD-supported reproductive science research institutional program with proven expertise in the design and conduct of basic science, translational, and/or clinical reproductive science research. Activities of a center will require extensive collaborative activities. The nature of the partnerships or collaborations are determined by the groups involved, their respective resources, expertise and roles in the research, and the topical subject matter of the proposed research. The applicant team must determine their strengths, weaknesses, and interests to propose a series of projects, cores and activities that will maximize their capabilities in addressing the goals of this initiative.
