Opportunities for Collaborative Research at the NIH Clinical Center (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking collaborative research projects to enhance the translation of basic biological discoveries into clinical applications that improve health. The goal of this program is to support high-quality science demonstrating the potential to result in understanding an important disease process or lead to new therapeutic interventions, diagnostics, or prevention strategies within the research interests and priorities of the participating NIH Institutes/Centers. The program seeks to broaden and strengthen patient-centric translational research collaborations between basic and clinical researchers both within and outside NIH. Some key aspects of the program include: • Collaborative research projects aligned with NIH efforts to enhance the translation of basic biological discoveries into clinical applications • High-quality science demonstrating the potential to result in understanding an important disease process or lead to new therapeutic interventions, diagnostics, or prevention strategies • Patient-centric translational research collaborations between basic and clinical researchers • Support for extramural investigators to take advantage of the unique research opportunities available at the NIH Clinical Center • Awards made under the authorization of Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200
