This NINDS grant is designed to establish Clinical Research Sites as part of the Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials (NEXT). The purpose of this network is to develop and execute multiple, scientifically sound, exploratory clinical trials, including Phase 2 studies and biomarker validation, for neurological disorders affecting both adult and pediatric populations. The grant aims to build a robust, standardized infrastructure to facilitate rapid protocol development and implementation. While not specific to a single disease, the network will efficiently coordinate specialist investigators for various study opportunities. This specific funding opportunity invites applications for Clinical Sites, contributing to a comprehensive research framework.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by NINDS, is to invite applications to participate as a Clinical Site in the Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials. This clinical research network will develop and conduct multiple, scientifically sound, possibly biomarker-informed exploratory clinical trials evaluating the most promising therapies, whether from academic, foundation or industry discoveries.Examples include Phase 2 clinical trials and clinical research studies aimed at validating biomarkers and clinical outcomes in preparation for clinical trials.
The network will provide a robust, standardized, and accessible infrastructure to facilitate rapid development and implementation of protocols in neurological disorders affecting adult and/or pediatric populations. While the network will not be specific to one disease, it will have the capacity to coordinate a cadre of specialist investigators to implement studies efficiently in response to disease-specific opportunities. This FOA solicits applications for Clinical Sites. Separate FOAs solicit applications for the Clinical Coordinating Center and the Data Coordinating Center (RFA-NS-11-009 and RFA-NS-11-010). |
