An important announcement for all clinical researchers

Starting January 25, 2018, NIH-defined clinical trial applications must be submitted using a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) that is worded specifically for clinical trials. In the past, clinical trial applications could be submitted for FOAs that were not identified as being clinical-trial specific. Submitting to the wrong FOA will lead to rejection of your application.

The NIH announcement is here:
