Ancillary Studies in Clinical Trials

Agency: 
NIH

The purpose of this FOA is to solicit research grant applications to conduct time-sensitive ancillary studies related to heart, lung, and blood diseases and sleep disorders in conjunction with ongoing NIH- or non-NIH-supported clinical trials. The ancillary study can address any research question related to the mission of NHLBI for which the parent study (which can also be an observational study or registry that can provide a sufficient cohort of well-characterized patients) can provide participants, infrastructure, and data. All ancillary study applications must demonstrate the time-sensitive nature of their proposal and must explicitly address why an expedited review is essential to its feasibility.
