Purpose

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) will not support clinical trials under the R01 and R21 Program Announcement Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Pathophysiology and Treatment PA-08-246 (R01) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-08-246.html and PA-08-247 (R21) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-08-247.html consistent with the previously announced policy (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-AI-05-021.html).

Applicants interested in conducting clinical trials are encouraged to consider an NIAID Clinical Trial Planning Grant (R34), which provides investigators with funds to prepare a) materials NIAID needs to determine a project's feasibility and b) documentation required for eventual conduct of a clinical trial. The program announcement for the R34 can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-384.html.

All other aspects of these FOAs remain unchanged.
