NINDS Neuroscience Funding Announcements

Preliminary Investigations Leading to Optimal Trials in Neurology

Funding Contact(s): Scott Janis, Ph.D.
Funding Categories: Clinical Research

Brief Description:
The NINDS is committed to identifying effective treatments for neurological disorders by supporting well-executed clinical trials. Before a definitive clinical trial can be designed, preliminary clinical studies are often required. The NINDS announces its interest in supporting studies required to obtain necessary information to establish clearly the clinical basis for proceeding to a definitive trial. The purpose of the PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS LEADING TO OPTIMAL TRIALS IN NEUROLOGY grant (for brevity referred to as NINDS Preliminary Clinical Trials grant) is to obtain preliminary data and conduct studies to support the rationale for a subsequent definitive clinical trial of an intervention to treat or prevent neurological disease.
