  • Community engagement at the inception of the trial concept and throughout the trial conduct is encouraged.

Clinical Trials Types of Trials Supported

NIDDK accepts applications for all phases, intervention types (e.g., drugs, devices, nutritional, behavioral, etc.), and trial methods (e.g., pilot and feasibility, efficacy, pragmatic, implementation, etc.)  of clinical trials within the NIDDK mission areas. Innovative trial designs and methods are encouraged.
