This funding opportunity from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute aims to support U01 applications for pragmatic clinical trials focusing on chronic pulmonary diseases in adults. The Pulmonary Trials Cooperative (PTC) initiative will involve multiple Protocol Leadership Groups (PLGs) and a Network Management Core (NEMO) to conduct various Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials evaluating the efficacy of new therapies. Applicants will lead the development of protocols and oversee trial activities in both inpatient and outpatient settings for diseases such as interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, COPD, and sarcoidosis. Excluded conditions are asthma and acute lung injury and critical care. Applications for NEMO are also encouraged through a companion FOA (RFA-HL-15-016). Closing date for submissions is October 20, 2014.

| Description: | This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) requests U01 applications proposing a single, pragmatic clinical trial in adults with chronic pulmonary diseases. Each successful applicant will serve as a Protocol Leadership Group (PLG) for a new type of clinical research network: the Pulmonary Trials Cooperative (PTC). The PTC is a cooperative program that includes multiple PLGs and a Network Management Core (NEMO). The PTC is designed to conduct multiple clinical trials in both inpatient and outpatient settings in adults with a variety of chronic pulmonary diseases, including but not limited to interstitial lung disease (ILD), pulmonary hypertension (PH), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sarcoidosis, and obstructive sleep apnea, but excluding asthma and acute lung injury and critical care. Studies, which may include both Phase 2 and Phase 3 simple, pragmatic clinical trials, will evaluate the efficacy or effectiveness of promising new or existing therapies. This FOA solicits applications for PLGs, which will have primary responsibility for developing a protocol and supporting a Lead Investigator for that protocol in the conduct and analyses of the related trial. A companion FOA (RFA-HL-15-016) requests applications for NEMO. |
