Funding Contact: NINDS Funding Coordinator
Funding Categories: Clinical Research, Neurodegeneration, Repair and Plasticity

Brief Description:
NINDS has released three initiatives in the last five years to create centers (P50 and U54 mechanisms) to perform translational and clinical research in Parkinson's disease, stroke, and minority health. Performance of high quality research involving patient-oriented research (http://www.nih.gov/news/crp/97report/execsum.htm) requires resources devoted to training personnel, ensuring appropriate inclusion and follow-up of subjects, monitoring patient safety, and coordinating activity among participating sites. In order to ensure that important patient-oriented projects proceed with adequate resources, NINDS announces that investigators submitting new applications for these programs may request annual direct costs up to $1,500,000.
