The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is offering a grant to conduct pilot testing of natural products like botanicals, dietary supplements, and probiotics. The aim is to gather valuable scientific data to justify further clinical testing. This funding opportunity is focused on generating insights to support decisions on the development and testing of natural products. The trials conducted should aim to fill gaps in scientific knowledge rather than solely test efficacy on clinical outcomes. The closing date for applications is December 16, 2016, 12:00:00 AM EST.

| Description: | The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support pilot testing of natural products (i.e., botanicals, dietary supplements, and probiotics), which have a strong scientific premise to justify further clinical testing. Under this FOA, trials must be designed so that results, whether positive or negative, will provide information of high scientific utility and will support decisions about further development or testing of the natural product. This FOA is not intended to support a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of the natural product on clinical outcomes. Rather, the data collected should be used to fill gaps in scientific knowledge and provide the information necessary to develop a competitive full-scale clinical trial. |
