NIGMS accepts investigator-initiated applications for clinical trials using the R01 mechanism with the following considerations and limitations.
Clinical studies that do not meet the Revised NIH Definition of “Clinical Trial” should be submitted via the PA 20-185 NIH Research Project Grant (Parent R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) funding opportunity announcement. NIGMS encourages discovery research in the NIGMS clinical research areas – for example, an observational study intended to provide biospecimens for molecular analyses that provide mechanistic understanding that will inform future clinical research/trials. We strongly encourage advance discussion with NIGMS staff of all applications that involve clinical studies or clinical trials. All clinical study and clinical trial applications above $500,000 direct costs in any one year are subject to NIH pre-submission requirements.
