Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting applications for a Resource Center Grant to support investigator-initiated large-scale clinical trials, human gene-transfer, stem cell therapy trials, and other complex or high resource- or safety-risk clinical trials. The proposed study must be intended to evaluate interventions aimed at screening, diagnosing, preventing, or treating vision disorders, or to compare the effectiveness of two or more established interventions.
Some key points to consider:
• The NEI UG1-supported studies are typically funded as a group of single-component companion grant awards including the Chairs Grant, the Coordinating Center, and Resource Centers, when appropriate.
• This grant is for a Resource Center that provides imaging, laboratory, or other requisite services for a multi-center clinical trial or other complex or high-risk clinical trial.
• The application is due on May 25, 2026.
• The grant is expected to support projects that are multifaceted and of high public health significance, requiring clear delineation of study organization, including roles and responsibilities, and careful performance oversight and monitoring.
