New NIH definition for clinical trials research

You may have noted that recent Funding Opportunity Announcements from NIH come in two versions – one for clinical trials and one where clinical trials are not allowed. It is crucial that PIs determine accurately whether their research falls under the new clinical trial definitions found at grants.nih.gov/ct-decision/index.htm.

Be aware that many of the projects in AHS that were not previously considered clinical trials, now are defined as clinical trials.
