Summary

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), under NIH/HHS, is soliciting R01 grant applications to conduct multi-site feasibility clinical trials of mind and body interventions. This is a federal grant opportunity (not a procurement contract) requiring a clinical trial component. The opportunity is a Program Announcement with Review (PAR), indicating a standing funding opportunity open for multiple submission cycles over approximately two years.

What they want

Applicants must propose and conduct multi-site feasibility clinical trials investigating mind and body interventions. A clinical trial is required as part of the R01 research plan. The work is expected to assess feasibility parameters (e.g., recruitment, retention, protocol adherence, preliminary efficacy signals) across multiple study sites. The funding mechanism is R01 (Research Project Grant).

  • Multi-site study design required
  • Clinical trial component required (not optional)
  • R01 grant mechanism
