Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials (NeuroNEXT) Infrastructure ? Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) & Data Coordinating Center (DCC)

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is forecasting a future funding opportunity to support the NeuroNEXT network’s core infrastructure. Two awardees will be selected to operate a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) that will manage multi‑site neuroscience clinical trials and biomarker validation studies across adult and pediatric populations. The centers will provide trial design expertise, regulatory support, data management, statistical analysis, and coordination among participating sites, aiming to accelerate the development of neurotherapeutics. While no solicitation is active, the forecast gives potential applicants ample time to form collaborations and prepare responsive proposals. • Supports a national network (NeuroNEXT) focused on neurological disorder trials. • Two cooperative‑agreement awards (CCC and DCC) to be funded likely in FY 2028. • Responsibilities include trial oversight, data collection, central data repository, statistical analysis, and reporting. • Open to a wide range of eligible entities (state, local, tribal, nonprofit, for‑profit, academic, etc.). • No budget ceiling disclosed; typical NIH cooperative agreements for national coordinating centers run in the multi‑million‑dollar range.
