The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), is inviting applications for a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) to support multi-site, investigator-initiated clinical trials focused on mind and body interventions. The DCC will be responsible for project coordination, administrative support, data management, and biostatistical analysis for Phase III clinical trials, and must be submitted alongside a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) proposal. This initiative is crucial for advancing research in complementary and integrative health strategies that address public health challenges, emphasizing participant diversity and data integrity. Interested applicants should note that the application deadline is January 20, 2025, with a funding period of up to 7 years, and can reach out to NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov for further inquiries.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to establish a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for multi-site, investigator-initiated clinical trials focusing on mind and body interventions. The DCC will provide crucial project coordination, administrative support, data management, and statistical analysis for Phase III clinical trials. An application must be submitted in conjunction with a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) proposal. Key objectives include ensuring participant diversity, managing data integrity, and continuous monitoring of safety. 

Applications will be evaluated based on criteria relating to significance, investigator qualification, innovation in trial design, the feasibility of the proposed approach, and the ability to execute data management plans. A Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) is mandatory to promote inclusive research practices. Application deadlines are set for January 20, 2025, with an expected funding period of up to 7 years, contingent on progress and availability of funds. The initiative underscores NCCIH's commitment to rigorous investigation of complementary and integrative health strategies that address public health challenges.

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. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.

See Section VII. Agency Contacts within the full opportunity announcement for all other inquires.
