This program funds an independent Data Coordinating Center to support a multi-site investigator-initiated clinical trial of mind and body interventions. The award supports trial coordination, data management, randomization, safety monitoring, statistical analysis, and reporting, and it must be paired with a companion Clinical Coordinating Center application submitted on the same due date. Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S. organizations such as nonprofits, universities, governments, small businesses, and faith-based or community-based organizations; foreign organizations are not eligible to apply, though foreign components are allowed. Application budgets are not limited, the U24 phase is expected to last 5 years and may be up to 7 years if strongly justified, and the number of awards depends on funding and meritorious applications. Multi-site trials must include at least three geographically distinct recruitment sites, or two with strong justification, and there is no cost-sharing requirement.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), utilizing the U24 grant funding mechanism, encourages applications for a collaborating Data Coordinating Center (DCC) application that accompanies an investigator-initiated multi site clinical trial (Phase III and beyond) application submitted under companion PAR-21-243. The DCC application must be specific to the companion Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) application. The objective of the DCC application is to propose a comprehensive plan that provides overall project coordination, and administrative, data management, and biostatistical support for the proposed clinical trial. Both a DCC application and a corresponding CCC application need to be submitted simultaneously for consideration by NCCIH. Trials for which this NOFO applies must be relevant to the research mission of NCCIH and considered a high priority by the Center. For additional information about the mission, strategic vision, and research priorities of NCCIH, applicants are encouraged to consult the NCCIH website (http://www.nccih.nih.gov). Applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate Scientific/Research contact for the area of science for which they are planning to develop an application prior to submitting to this NOFO.
