The goal of this pilot and feasibility mechanism is to provide flexibility for initiating preliminary, short-term clinical studies, thus allowing new ideas to be investigated in a more expeditious manner without stringent requirements for preliminary data. Such support is needed to encourage experienced investigators as well as new investigators to pursue new approaches, underdeveloped topics, or more creative avenues of research. If successful, these awards should lead to significant scientific advances in digestive disease research and should facilitate translation into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.
One focus of this funding opportunity is on diseases that ordinarily have little research support because they are uncommon or rare, or difficult to manage, or are not the focus of pharmacological therapy. There are several rare digestive diseases that may, nevertheless, have lasting and major consequences for the patients who have these conditions. These conditions are particularly challenging when they occur in children and have life-long consequences. These diseases are often too rare to be adequately investigated by a single individual or at a single medical research institution. For these reasons, applications for study of these conditions might be best performed by a consortium of investigators that come together with a common protocol to focus on natural history and clinical investigation rather than a specific therapeutic intervention. Examples of these rare or uncommon digestive and liver diseases that are of particular focus in this funding opportunity include gastrointestinal motility disorders of children; eosinophilic gastroenteritis, intestinal pseudoobstruction, Wilsons disease; sclerosing cholangitis in children; hepatic congenital fibrosis; autoimmune hepatitis; primary biliary cirrhosis; and familial pancreatitis.
Many digestive diseases and nutritional disorders are diagnosed, monitored or treated using endoscopic or surgical techniques. These techniques are often the consequence of years of study and development by a talented and innovative investigator or group of investigators. Once the final technique is developed and reported in the medical literature, however, there is often little independent analysis of its efficacy and risk-benefit ratio. Thus, endoscopic management of gastrointestinal bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barretts esophagus, retained biliary stones, pancreatitis and colonic ectasia may be widely practiced but have not been subjected to careful, large-scale, prospective randomized controlled trials. Among surgical procedures in digestive and nutritional disorders, there is also often little controlled evidence for efficacy and safety. Thus, small bowel transplantation is an area in which surgical techniques have been introduced and widely used without controlled observations on the efficacy and relative safety of this approach. This funding opportunity is meant to provide a means for investigators to develop prospective randomized controlled trials of endoscopic and surgical therapies.
Additional areas of special focus of this funding opportunity are hepatitis B and C. These two diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality from liver disease in the United States. Current estimates suggest that chronic hepatitis B affects 1 million and hepatitis C approximately 3 million Americans.
Hepatitis C accounts for at least 30% of liver transplants done in the United States, while hepatitis B and its complications account for 5-10% of transplants. Furthermore, chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections are a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. While there are many industry-sponsored studies of new and innovative therapies of these diseases, many important approaches to the management, health promotion, prevention and treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis B and C are outside of the usual interest of industry-sponsors of clinical trials. Thus, use of cytokines, innovative combination therapies, and bioactive food components in the treatment of hepatitis B and C might be the focus of a pilot and feasibility grant application. In addition, approaches to management and therapy of hepatitis B and C in special populations might be the focus of a pilot and feasibility grant application; such populations might include children, patients with hemophilia, patients with renal failure, solid-organ transplant patients, patients with human immunodeficiency virus co-infection, injection drug users, patients with continuing problems with alcohol or substance abuse, and patients with significant psychiatric disease, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.
Acute hepatitis C currently accounts for 20% of cases of acute viral hepatitis. Importantly, between 50 and 80% of persons with acute hepatitis C develop chronic infection and thus are at risk of the long-term consequences of this disease, such as cirrhosis, hepatic failure and liver cancer. Several small, uncontrolled studies have suggested that treatment of hepatitis C during the acute phase is highly effective, leading to sustained clearance of virus in 80 to 98% of patients. What is unclear is the optimal timing, dosage and treatment regimen for acute hepatitis. An application for support of a collaborative network of investigators interested in studying the natural history, immunopathogenesis, virology and treatment of acute hepatitis C is strongly encouraged.
Some digestive diseases result in loss of bowel function and the need for individuals to utilize nutritional support such as parenteral nutrition and specialized enteral feeding. Applications for innovative studies on ways to improve use of nutritional support to meet the nutritional needs of individuals with digestive diseases are encouraged.
Diet has been implicated as a significant determinant of the risk of developing various cancers and of the progression of certain cancers. The National Cancer Institute is particularly interested in the use of foods and of bioactive food components to evaluate outcomes in digestive and liver diseases that are either pre-neoplastic or associated with an increased risk of cancer. Small randomized clinical trials that can measure the effect of the nutritional intervention on pre-neoplastic lesions, including but not limited to measuring the effect on cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and inflammatory response are of particular interest. The National Cancer Institute is also interested in clinical trials designed to measure the effects of bioactive food components on cellular inflammation in those digestive and liver diseases associated with an increased risk of cancer, including but not limited to acute and chronic infection with hepatitis B and C viruses and inflammatory bowel disease.
This funding opportunity is intended to encourage pilot and feasibility clinical and epidemiological research studies to facilitate the translation of promising and relevant new developments into the clinical setting. The emphasis is thus, on the development of small, randomized clinical trials and epidemiological studies. Basic laboratory research or studies of laboratory animals are not appropriate for this announcement. Consideration should be given to using the R01 mechanism for this type of study. Specifically excluded from this program announcement are studies that focus primarily on obesity.
Specific examples of research areas of interest include but are not limited to:
Applications for R21 awards should describe projects distinct from those supported through the traditional R01 mechanism. For example, long-term projects, or projects designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area, will not be considered for R21 awards. Applications submitted under this mechanism should be exploratory and novel.

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
For this particular announcement, note the following:
The R21 exploratory/developmental grant supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or bio-behavioral research. An R21 grant application need not have extensive background material or preliminary information. Accordingly, reviewers will focus their evaluation on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential to significantly advance our knowledge or understanding. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or, when available, from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required for R21 applications; however, they may be included if available.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD(s)/PI(s), do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
