Purpose

The NIH Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program has released a Partnership Opportunity (PO) seeking to establish custom partnerships for device-based clinical studies that go beyond the immediate primary clinical endpoints to collect data to enhance functional understanding of an intervention and to enhance knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord.

Awards issued under this PO will include custom and flexible data rights to maximize the scientific impact of the clinical studies through de-identification and sharing of study data relevant to the NIH SPARC program. The use of the Other Transaction award mechanism allows this PO to accommodate issuance of unique clinical awards where Terms & Conditions (e.g. cost-sharing, intellectual property, or award milestones and structure) are customized on a case-by-case basis to fit the objectives of the program.

This PO is accessible at https://commonfund.nih.gov/sites/default/files/SPARC3_RM18-019_Clinical_OT_FO_508.pdf. Letters of Intent (LOI) are required and are due by September 7, 2018. Proposals are due October 15th, 2018.
