Infectious Diseases Clinical Trials Network (IDCTN)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Infectious Diseases Clinical Trials Network (IDCTN)" aimed at advancing public health through the rapid implementation of clinical trials for infectious diseases. This initiative seeks to establish a network comprising Clinical Trial Evaluation Units (CTEUs) and a Network Coordination Center (NCC) to evaluate therapeutics, vaccines, diagnostics, and devices, addressing urgent public health needs that standard grant timelines cannot meet. With an estimated total program funding of $29 million, this opportunity is open to a wide range of eligible applicants, including Indian/Native American Tribal Governments, federal agencies, and community-based organizations. Interested parties can reach out to Dr. Marina S. Lee at 240-627-3304 or via email at dmidclinicaltrials@niaid.nih.gov for further information, with key deadlines including an estimated synopsis close date of June 11, 2026, and an anticipated award date of March 1, 2027.
