NHLBI wants investigator-led clinical trials that answer real questions in heart, lung, blood and sleep disease — and this is the version built for a single site running the whole thing itself.
What qualifies is broad by design: efficacy trials, comparative effectiveness trials, pragmatic trials, and dissemination and implementation science trials, including ones testing prevention strategies alo…
Single-site investigator-initiated clinical trials relevant to NHLBI's research mission — efficacy, comparative effectiveness, pragmatic, and dissemination and implementation science trials, including therapeutic, behavioral and prevention-strategy studies — run as a bi-phasic, milestone-driven award. A clinical trial is required.
