The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), is offering funding opportunities for high-risk multi-center clinical study implementation planning via U34 Cooperative Agreements. This initiative aims to support investigator-initiated clinical studies that focus on diseases aligned with NIDDK's mission, facilitating early peer review and the development of essential study documents, including protocols and operational manuals. The program emphasizes inclusivity in research, requiring a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) to engage diverse communities effectively. The maximum funding available is $225,000 per year for a project period of up to two years, with applications opening on September 9, 2024, and due by 5:00 PM local time on the specified deadlines.
