Synopsis

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) encourages applications for investigator-initiated multi site clinical trials (e.g., efficacy, effectiveness, or pragmatic trials) to study the effects of complementary and integrative health approaches with physical and/or psychological therapeutic inputs (often called mind and body interventions), and/or multicomponent interventions that include physical, psychological, and/or nutritional approaches in NCCIH- designated areas of high research priority. Clinical Coordinating Centers (CCC) should develop and implement the proposed fully powered multi-site clinical trial (Phase III and beyond). The objective of a CCC application is to present the scientific rationale and a comprehensive scientific and operational plan for the clinical trial. CCC applications are expected to describe plans for project management, participant recruitment and retention strategies, performance milestones, scientific conduct, and dissemination of results. CCC applications submitted under this NOFO will utilize a two-phase, milestone-driven cooperative agreement (UG3/UH3) funding mechanism. In addition, an accompanying Data Coordinating Center (DCC) application (U24), submitted under PAR-24-087 proposing a data analysis and data management plan for the clinical project is required. Both a CCC application and a corresponding DCC application need to be submitted simultaneously for consideration by NCCIH. For additional information about the mission, strategic vision, and research priorities of NCCIH, applicants are encouraged to consult the NCCIH website: (https://nccih.nih.gov/about/plans). 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.
