NIH Clinical Trials Contacts
The High-Risk, High-Reward Research program welcomes any project relevant to the NIH mission, including clinical trials. Though technical and conceptual risks are expected in highly innovative projects, clinical research must also contend with potential risks to human subjects. Because awards are administered by the most topic-relevant NIH Institute or Center (IC), applicants proposing NIH-defined clinical trials should contact program staff at the appropriate IC to ensure their applications conform to NIH and IC-specific policies for clinical trials.

| NEI | NEI will not support clinical trials that are greater than minimal risk on this funding opportunity (Minimal risk is defined as the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests).

| NIDA | The mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is to advance science on the causes and consequences of substance use and substance use disorders (SUD) and to apply that knowledge to improve individual and public health. In this regard, NIDA addresses the most fundamental and essential questions about substance use and SUD — from detecting and responding to emerging trends and understanding how substances work in the brain and body, to developing and testing new approaches to treatment and prevention. NIDA is interested in supporting mechanistic clinical trials* and Basic Experimental Studies with Humans (BESH) that aim to aid these processes. *A mechanistic clinical trial is designed to understand a biological or behavioral process, the pathophysiology of a disease, biomarkers for a disease or response to treatment, or the mechanism of action of an intervention. It is not designed to test the safety or demonstrate the efficacy/effectiveness of an intervention. | Katia Howlett, PhD, MPP, MBA Roger Little, PhD |
