NIDCD Cooperative Agreement for Clinical Trials in Communication Disorders
Funds a clinical trial for a communication disorder that NIH runs jointly with the investigator, when the trial meets a high-oversight or high-risk bar.
Some communication-disorder trials carry more weight than others — a drug or approach headed toward FDA approval, or one that could cause real harm if the science is wrong. For those, NIH does not just write a check; it puts one of its own scientists inside the project.
This is a cooperative agreement between an NIDCD Project Scientist and an investigator, built around a single clinical trial for…
A cooperative agreement between an NIDCD Project Scientist and an investigator supporting a single clinical trial for the treatment or prevention of a communication disorder, where the trial requires FDA oversight, is intended to formally establish efficacy, or carries a higher risk of physical or psychological harm. A clinical trial is required.
