National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is announcing a correction to milestones language for RFA-HL-26-007 Single Source: Bench to Bassinet Congenital Heart disease Advancing New understanding in GEnomics Cohort (B2B CHANGE Cohort) Data Coordinating Center (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)". Changes are shown in bold italics below.
Currently reads in RFA-HL-26-007:
Milestones
A key characteristic of this NOFO is completion of core milestones. A core milestone is defined as a scheduled event in the project timeline that signifies the completion of a major project stage or activity. Milestones must be performance-based to achieve completion of the Program on time and on budget.
Core milestones that are of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
NHLBI policies regarding milestones and relevant clinical research/studies policies are described in the following: NHLBI Accrual of Human Subjects (Milestones) Policy
This is a non-competitive funding opportunity intended to fund a single award. NHLBI is announcing its intent to issue a single source cooperative agreement to Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center for the transition of the Bench-to-Bassinet (B2B) Program Administrative Coordinating Center into a B2B CHANGE (Congenital Heart disease Advancing New understanding in GEnomics) Cohort Data Coordinating Center (CC). This award is single-source in order to continue and maintain long-term infrastructure investments. The award will enable the current PCGC Administrative Coordinating Center to build on its existing infrastructure, including its robust datahub, to support the goals of the B2B CHANGE Cohort.
