The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for a Clinical Coordinating Center for NCCIH Multi-Site Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials of Natural Products (Collaborative UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required)    

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.     

The NOFO is expected to be published in December 2023 with an expected application due date in Winter2024.    

This NOFO will utilize the UG3/UH3 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below.   

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) encourages cooperative agreement applications for investigator-initiated, multi-site, clinical trials (Phase III and beyond) to study the effects of natural products in NCCIH designated areas of high research priority. Applicants should describe plans for a Clinical Coordinating Center to develop and implement the proposed multi-site clinical trial. The objective of the Clinical Coordinating Center is to provide the scientific rationale and a comprehensive scientific and operational plan for the clinical trial. The Clinical Coordinating Center is expected to be responsible for project management, participant recruitment and retention strategies, performance milestones, scientific conduct, and dissemination of results. Clinical Coordinating Center applications submitted under this NOFO will utilize a two-phase, milestone-driven, cooperative agreement (UG3/UH3) funding mechanism.  

In addition, an accompanying Data Coordinating Center application proposing a data analysis and data management plan for the clinical project is required. Both a Clinical Coordinating Center application and a corresponding Data Coordinating Center (DCC) application need to be submitted simultaneously for consideration by NCCIH. For additional information about the mission, strategic vision, and research priorities of the NCCIH, applicants are encouraged to consult the NCCIH website: (https://nccih.nig.gov/about/plans).
