NIH Phase 1 Exploratory/Developmental Cooperative Agreement (UG3)

NIDCR Drug, Biologic, Device and/or Procedure Intervention Clinical Trial Planning and Implementation Cooperative Agreement

Funds the planning of a clinical trial in oral, dental or craniofacial health, and then running it, as one phased award.

OpenNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

Most institutes fund trial planning and trial conduct through separate competitions. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research funds them as one phased award, and that changes the calculation.

The scope is described only by the institute's mission โ€” oral, dental and craniofacial health โ€” which is unusually wide inside a narrow field: caries and periodontal disease, oral cancer, cโ€ฆ

Phased cooperative agreements to plan and then implement clinical trials of drug, biologic, device or procedure interventions within the mission of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. A clinical trial is required.
