FYI:
- Notice of NIAMS Policy for Submission of Applications Containing Clinical Trials
(NOT-AR-13-015)
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases
Effectively immediately, NIAMS will not accept investigator-initiated R01 applications and subsequent revisions containing clinical trials.
Please note that NIH’s definition of a clinical trial is broader than most:
“A clinical trial is a prospective biomedical or behavioral research study of human subjects designed to answer specific questions about the safety, tolerability, efficacy and/or effectiveness of pharmacologic, behavioral, biologic, surgical, or device (invasive or non-invasive) interventions.”
Questions about this or other notices sent from the SPA listserv may be directed to your Sponsored Projects Contract & Grant Officer.
