The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health offers grants for investigator-initiated early phase clinical trials of natural products to evaluate their impact on biological signatures and clinical outcomes. The trials should provide valuable scientific information to determine further development or testing of the natural product. Projects can focus on optimizing delivery, combining treatments, or targeting specific populations. This funding opportunity aims to translate basic science findings into clinical research quickly, supporting hypothesis-based and milestone-driven trials aligned with NCCIH research priorities. Note that this grant does not fund efficacy trials or research on cancer treatment or prevention.

Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for investigator-initiated early phase clinical trials 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 will provide up to 3 years support for studies to replicate the impact of the natural product on the biological signature(s) when used by humans and assess whether there is an association between the degree of the impact on the biological signature and functional or clinical outcomes in a patient population. Applications can design studies to determine how to optimize the impact of the natural product on the biological signature by (1) optimizing the delivery of the natural product by dose or formulation; (2) combine the natural product with another treatment approach that is known to impact the same biological signature; or (3) study the impact of the natural product in a target population that is more responsive. Clinical trials submitted under this FOA are expected to be hypothesis based, milestone-driven, and directly related to the research priorities and mission of NCCIH. This R33 funding mechanism is intended to accelerate the translation of emerging basic science findings about natural products into early stage clinical testing to determine whether continued clinical research is warranted. This FOA will not support efficacy or effectiveness trials, nor will it support trials to test natural products for the treatment or prevention of cancer. |
