NIDDK Multi-Center Clinical Study Implementation Planning Grants (U34)
NIDDK Multi-Center Clinical Study Implementation Planning Grants (U34)
Deadline: June 28, 2013
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) supports investigator-initiated, multi-center (three or more sites) clinical studies exclusively through a two-part process that includes an implementation planning (U34) grant. The U34 planning grant is designed to: (1) permit early peer review of the rationale for the proposed clinical study; (2) permit assessment of the design and protocol of the proposed study; (3) provide support for the development of documents needed for the conduct of the study, including a manual of operations and (4) support the development of other essential elements required for the conduct of a clinical study. Completion of the required products of a U34 grant is a prerequisite for submission of a multi-center clinical study cooperative agreement (U01) application, which will support the actual conduct of the study. Pre-approval from NIDDK will be required for submission of an U34 application. Click
