Purpose

This Notice informs potential applicants of changes in NHLBI policies and procedures for the acceptance, review, and funding of investigator-initiated multi-site clinical trials. The purpose of this Notice is to announce that any application requesting funding for a Phase II or above clinical trial (using the NIH definition of a clinical trial), and proposes to include more than one site for the purposes of recruitment, must be submitted to two specific Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) or their reissuances:

PAR-16-300 Clinical Coordinating Center for Multi-site Clinical Trials (Collaborative UG3/UH3)
PAR-16-301 Data Coordinating Center for Multi-site Clinical Trials (Collaborative U24)

On September 8, 2016, NHLBI will no longer accept applications for multi-site clinical trials if submitted through the Research Project Grant (Parent R01) FOA (PA-16-160 or subsequent reissuances).
