NIH Clinical Trials

4 Questions for Researchers and Institutions Involved in Human Subjects Research
Will the NIH consider your research a clinical trial? The answers to these 4 questions, as well as the included case studies and FAQs, will help you decide.
Further Clarification on Clinical Trials
The NIH continues to incorporate feedback from the community to further refine how NIH defines a clinical trial. Here, the Deputy Director for Extramural Research discusses the topic in more detail.
NCCIH's New Approach to Funding Clinical Trials
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is participating in the NIH-wide initiative to strengthen the clinical trial research portfolio. Clinical trials are important to NCCIH because they study health interventions widely used by the American public—often with scarce evidence of their efficacy and inadequate understanding of potential safety concerns. This is a summary of a webinar detailing the new approach and related guidelines.

Open Funding Opportunities

Joint Grant Awards Program of the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation
This funding opportunity of up to $50,000 supports "research of value to the practicing family physician." Preference will be given to new researchers and those who mentor and include new investigators on their research team. PI must be a family medicine researcher (clinician or PhD) and PI or co-investigator must be an AAFP member.

This research grant program is appropriate for FM faculty, departments, and residency programs. The application deadline is January 9, 2018, with reviews conducted in May and November. Competition will likely be exceptionally keen given that only 3-4 awards are made annually. Please notify Sponsored Programs by October 1, if you are interested in potentially submitting an application.
