The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is offering a funding opportunity for a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for multi-site investigator-initiated clinical trials. This initiative aims to support clinical trials aimed at assessing the efficacy of therapeutic and preventive strategies, with specific encouragement for innovative trial designs. The DCC will collaborate with a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and is required to manage project coordination, data management, and biostatistical support, demonstrating effective collaboration with the CCC to enhance community engagement and diversity in clinical trial recruitment. Key dates indicate the open application period from September 11, 2022, until September 12, 2025. Eligible applicants include a diverse range of organizations such as higher education institutions, nonprofits, governments, and foreign institutions. Applications must comply with NIH guidelines, including performance-driven milestones, participant safety, and the inclusion of underrepresented populations in clinical research. Successful applicants will demonstrate effective project management capabilities, innovative approaches to trial design, and compliance with funding policies. This funding opportunity emphasizes NIH's commitment to diversity within the research workforce and the necessity for diverse clinical trial participation to address health disparities.
