Leveraging Network Infrastructure to Conduct Innovative Research for Women, Children, Pregnant and Lactating Women, and Persons with Disabilities
Funds multisite clinical trials and studies for infants, children, pregnant or lactating women, or people with disabilities, through NICHD's own network.
Running a good multisite trial in these populations usually means building the infrastructure from nothing. This award instead plugs a new hypothesis into infrastructure NICHD already runs.
What is funded is innovative, multisite, investigator-initiated clinical trials and observational studies relevant to infants, children, women, pregnant and lactating women, and persons with disabilities. Any …
Multisite, investigator-initiated clinical trials and observational studies for infants, children, women, pregnant and lactating women, and persons with disabilities, run through NICHD's own clinical research network infrastructure and its Network Data Coordinating Center, in a bi-phasic milestone-driven start-up (UG3) and implementation (UH3) mechanism. Clinical trials are optional.
