The Chickasaw Nation received a $430,408 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), awarded May 15, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2031.

Under this award, the Chickasaw Nation will deliver comprehensive institutional improvements including assessment and streamlining of existing IRB systems and processes to increase decision timeliness and accuracy. Key deliverables include development of a workforce development plan, provision of staff training and conference access to expand IRB personnel knowledge, creation of a sustainability plan to address long-term operational expenses (including staff salaries, IRB software, Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative accounts, and conference participation), research and piloting of an IRB revenue model to ensure post-award sustainability, and development of a Tribal IRB manual. These capacity-building activities are designed to position the CNDH IRB to effectively manage increased research activities while establishing financial independence following the grant period.
