Limited Competition for the Continuation or Revision of Multisite Clinical Trial Clinical Coordinating Center (Collaborative UH3 Clinical Trial Opti…

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for competing renewal of Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) for ongoing clinical trials supported by NCCIH; or competitive revisions to support ancillary studies to ongoing NCCIH supported clinical trials. Extension of an ongoing clinical trial will be supported when there is need for additional time to complete the trial or when an extended period of follow up is well justified to assess longer term outcomes. Competitive revisions will be supported when there is compelling justification for the addition of an ancillary study to an ongoing clinical trial. The objective of the Clinical Coordinating Center is to provide the design scientific rationale and a comprehensive scientific and operational plan for the clinical trial. The Clinical Coordinating Center is expected to be responsible for project management, participant recruitment and retention strategies, performance milestones, scientific conduct, and dissemination of results. Both a DCC application and a corresponding Clinical Coordinating Center application should be submitted simultaneously for consideration by NCCIH if both are needed to complete the ongoing clinical trial. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate Scientific/Research contact for the ongoing clinical trial for which they are planning a competing renewal application or competitive revision prior to submitting to this FOA.
