The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following criteria: 1 description of proposed procedures involving animals, including species, strains, ages, sex, and total number to be used; 2 justifications for the use of animals versus alternative models and for the appropriateness of the species proposed; 3 interventions to minimize discomfort, distress, pain and injury; and 4 justification for euthanasia method if NOT consistent with the AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals.
Reviewers will assess the use of chimpanzees as they would any other application proposing the use of vertebrate animals. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section. As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact score.
Reviewers will assess the information provided in this section of the application, including 1 the Select Agent s to be used in the proposed research, 2 the registration status of all entities where Select Agent s will be used, 3 the procedures that will be used to monitor possession use and transfer of Select Agent s , and 4 plans for appropriate biosafety, biocontainment, and security of the Select Agent s.
Reviewers will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research. Applications will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate Scientific Review Group s ,convened by NCI, in accordance with NIH peer review policy and procedures , using the stated review criteria.
Appeals for initial peer review will not be accepted for applications submitted in response to this FOA. Applications will compete for available funds with all other recommended applications submitted in response to this FOA. Following initial peer review, recommended applications will receive a second level of review by the National Cancer Advisory Board.
The following will be considered in making funding decisions:. Refer to Part 1 for dates for peer review, advisory council review, and earliest start date. A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award NoA will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications. Recipients must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV. Funding Restrictions. Selection of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk.
These costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs. This includes any recent legislation and policy applicable to awards that is highlighted on this website. Individual awards are based on the application submitted to, and as approved by, the NIH and are subject to the IC-specific terms and conditions identified in the NoA. NIH expects registration and results reporting of all trials whether required under the law or not.
To help ensure the safety of participants enrolled in NIH-funded studies, the recipient must provide NIH copies of documents related to all major changes in the status of ongoing protocols.
Data and Safety Monitoring Requirements: The NIH policy for data and safety monitoring requires oversight and monitoring of all NIH-conducted or -supported human biomedical and behavioral intervention studies clinical trials to ensure the safety of participants and the validity and integrity of the data. Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption Requirements: Consistent with federal regulations, clinical research projects involving the use of investigational therapeutics, vaccines, or other medical interventions including licensed products and devices for a purpose other than that for which they were licensed in humans under a research protocol must be performed under a Food and Drug Administration FDA investigational new drug IND or investigational device exemption IDE.
If a recipient is successful and receives a Notice of Award, in accepting the award, the recipient agrees that any activities under the award are subject to all provisions currently in effect or implemented during the period of the award, other Department regulations and policies in effect at the time of the award, and applicable statutory provisions. Recipients of federal financial assistance FFA from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, religion, conscience, and sex.
This includes ensuring programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research.
An applicant, at its option, may review information in the designated integrity and performance systems accessible through FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal agency previously entered and is currently in FAPIIS. Transition from the mentored phase to the independent phase is intended to be continuous in time and, except in unusual, extenuating circumstances, NCI will not extend the K99 phase beyond the 2-year limit.
NCI staff may, at their discretion, make exceptions to this time limitation when individuals have been invited for faculty job interviews but final decisions have not yet been made by the potential R00 institution or, rarely, because of unusual, extenuating circumstances. To activate the independent phase of the grant, individuals must have been offered and accepted a tenure-track, full-time assistant professor position or equivalent by the end of the K99 project period.
An eligible R00 institution will have appropriate infrastructure to support the proposed research program and a history of external research funding. However, should the individual accept such a position in the IRP, the independent phase of the award will not be activated. PIs are encouraged to discuss job offers at for-profit organizations with NCI Program staff well in advance of accepting such an offer.
To avoid potential problems in activating the independent phase,recipients are strongly encouraged to contact their NCI program official as soon as plans to apply for and, assume an independent position develop, and not later than 6 months prior to the termination of the K99 phase of the award.
At that time, individuals should discuss plans for transition to, and application for, the R00 phase with their NCI program official. The application for the R00 phase of the award should be submitted no later than 2 months prior to the proposed activation date of the R00 award by the R00 phase recipient organization.
The independent phase institution will submit an application on behalf of the candidate for the R00 award using the PHS Application. The R00 application must include:. These materials should be sent directly to NCI. The R00 application will be evaluated by NCI extramural program staff for completeness and appropriateness to the program. Two additional documents must be included with the R00 application. In addition, if not already provided, the final evaluation statement by the K99 phase mentor, must be provided.
The start-up package and other institutional support must be described in detail and must be comparable to that given to other faculty recently hired into tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. Institutions must provide a startup and salary package equivalent to that provided to a newly hired faculty member who does not have a grant; R00 funds may not be used to offset the typical startup package or to offset the usual institutional commitment to provide salary for tenure-track or equivalent assistant professors who are hired without grant support.
Because the R00 award requires that a minimum of 9 person months be devoted to research activities, teaching, clinical duties and other non-research activities should be minimal during the R00 award period. NIH staff may review start-up packages and other commitments between the institution and candidate prior to activating the independent phase of the award. NCI will not activate the independent phase if the institutional commitment is deemed inadequate.
Recipients who are approved to transition will receive a Notice of Award R00, the dollar amount, and the new recipient organization if applicable. Consequently, a requirement for activation of the R00 phase is successful completion of this transition. K99 recipients are encouraged but not required to apply for independent positions at departments and institutions different from where they conducted their mentored research. It is important for all recipients, but especially so for those who intend to stay at the mentored phase institution for the independent phase, to provide a plan by which they will separate from their mentor and advance to independence.
Recipients are also encouraged to include a plan and timeline for submitting an independent research grant application in a research area relevant to the mission of an NIH awarding component. Candidates who are not approved to transition will receive written notification from the awarding component communicating the rationale for the disapproval.
This notification typically will be sent within 60 days of receipt of the R00 application. Although the financial plans of NCI provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this funding opportunity are contingent upon the availability of funds. If transition from the K99 phase at an extramural institution to the R00 phase occurs at the originally scheduled end date of the K99 award, then no specific steps to terminate the K99 award are necessary.
If the transition at an extramural institution occurs prior to the scheduled end date, then a revised Notice of Award will be issued to terminate the K99 phase award. Carry-over of unspent funds from a partially completed year in the K99 phase into the R00 phase is not permitted. The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of Transparency Act , includes a requirement for recipients of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY or later.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements provided at 45 CFR The recipient must also make semiannual disclosures regarding such proceedings. Proceedings information will be made publicly available in the designated integrity and performance system currently FAPIIS.
This is a statutory requirement under section of Public Law , as amended 41 U. As required by section of Public Law , all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, , except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available.
In carrying out its stewardship of human resource-related programs, the NIH may request information essential to an assessment of the effectiveness of this program from databases and from participants themselves. Participants may be contacted after the completion of this award for periodic updates on various aspects of their employment history, publications, support from research grants or contracts, honors and awards, professional activities, and other information helpful in evaluating the impact of the program.
We encourage inquiries concerning this funding opportunity and welcome the opportunity to answer questions from potential applicants. Sergey Radaev, Ph. Recently issued trans-NIH policy notices may affect your application submission. All awards are subject to the terms and conditions, cost principles, and other considerations described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. Please note that the NIH Loan Repayment Programs LRPs are a set of programs to attract and retain promising early-stage investigators in research careers by helping them to repay their student loans.
Recipients of career development awards are encouraged to consider applying for an extramural LRP award. Department of Health and Human Services. It included three cohorts, with 12 patients in each cohort.
Patients in cohort 1, cohort 2, and cohort 3 received one, two, and three doses of IGC-AD1 per day, respectively, for two weeks. Considering that there were no serious or life-threatening AEs, the company is encouraged to design Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, subject to FDA approval. IGC's shares traded 0.

Clinical research sites can leverage broker contacts with sponsors and CROs, paying ILS only for the first study, which gives the clinical research site an opportunity to perform, noted Bollert.
He added that good performance should produce other new study opportunities without a broker fee. Also, the company does not remove inactive investigators or track how many studies he or she conducts. Boston-based ClinEdge works with 36 geographically dispersed and independently owned sites.
The company also works with investigators in the U. Each investigator conducts 20 trials annually, Burns noted. ClinEdge employs relationship managers who work with pharma companies or CROs on site studies and other managers who run the sites directly. Both oversee day-to-day operations. If they see our sites are struggling with recruitment for any reason, we can boost enrollment. We have a full media team that can come in and implement any service to maximize site resources to be more successful.
So if you had a pain study, and we have eight pain sites, we gather the information, talk to each of the eight doctors about it and make a rational decision and whether we can do it fairly quickly.
With nine clinical study locations in South Florida and South Carolina, it turned to ClinEdge to find clinical trial grant leads and a more efficient way of handling its business development issues. For us, the return on investment with ClinEdge has been excellent.
ClinEdge also runs a second site network called Blue Theory Clinical Trials with sites that are smaller in size, younger and less experienced. They are supported at the consulting level to help make their site research infrastructure better. That includes standard operating procedures SOPs and quality assurance.
Some successful investigative sites maintain that study brokers are good in the beginning and for expanding into new medical areas where they lack experience, while others urge sites to ignore brokers and focus on developing relationships with pharmas and CROs. I hear from brokers on a regular basis—and avoid them. Similarly, Terry Poling, M. But if I was starting a site today and having difficulty getting studies, I might consider a broker but soon go it alone without their help.
Some experienced sites believe that study brokers perpetuate the availability of novice, less sophisticated sites for biopharmaceutical companies.
