PA-20-261 - PHS 2020-2 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH for Small Business Technology Transfer Grant Applications (Parent STTR [R41/R42] Clinical Trial Required)
NOT-EB-21-005 - NIBIB Guidance for Support of Clinical Trial Applications
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)
This Notice announces the participation of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), effective for the April 5, 2021 receipt date, in PA-20-261 "PHS 2020-2 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH for Small Business Technology Transfer Grant Applications (Parent STTR [R41/R42] Clinical Trial Required)".
NIBIB funding of clinical trials will be in accordance with NOT-EB-21-005 "NIBIB Guidance for Support of Clinical Trial Applications". Briefly, NIBIB will only support mission-focused (see NIBIB's program areas) early stage clinical trial applications, i.e., feasibility, Phase I, first-in-human, safety, or other small clinical trials, that inform early stage technology development. NIBIB will not support applications proposing pivotal, Phase II, III, IV, or trials in which the primary outcome is efficacy, effectiveness, or a post-market concern. Also, mechanistic trials are not supported unless the primary focus of the project is on technology development.
The following sections of PA-20-261 have been modified (shown in bold italics) to reflect the NIBIB's participation in this FOA:
