The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is offering this grant to establish a Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) for its Network of Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials. This grant is for an entity that will develop and conduct multiple, scientifically sound exploratory clinical trials, including Phase 2 studies and biomarker validation, for promising therapies. The CCC will provide essential, standardized infrastructure to facilitate rapid protocol development and implementation across various adult and pediatric neurological disorders. While not disease-specific, the network will efficiently adapt to disease-specific opportunities. This specific funding opportunity targets the Clinical Coordinating Center, crucial for advancing neuroscience clinical research.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by NINDS, is to invite applications to participate as a Clinical Coordinating Center 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 the Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC). Separate FOAs solicit applications for the Clinical Sites and the Data Coordinating Center (RFA-NS-11-008 and RFA-NS-11-010). |
