Streamlining IRB Review of Multi-Site Clinical Research Studies
For many decades now the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and consequently NIH, has required institutional review board (IRB) review of research involving human subjects. When this regulation was instituted in 1975, most clinical research primarily took place at a single research institution. However, advances in science and technology facilitate greater connectivity between researchers, participants, and research centers and hospitals. Additionally, to get at a better understanding of human health, we support the use of multiple research sites to recruit individuals from diverse regions, and to increase par...

NINDS Institutional Center Core Grants to Support Neuroscience Research (P30)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for Center Core Grants that provide resources and facilities shared by a minimum of six NINDS-supported investigators, and supporting a wider base of neuroscience research. The proposed Centers should offer services and expertise that would be difficult or impractical to support in individual labs. The Centers are expected to capitalize on economies and synergies associated with shared resources, and to foster a collaborative environment among neuroscientists at host institutions.

Request for Information (RFI): B.R.A.I.N. Initiative Public/Private Partnership to Accelerate Clinical Access to Next-Generation Stimulating/Recording Devices
The purpose of this time-sensitive RFI, issued by the Institutes of the NIH BRAIN Initiative (http://www.nih.gov/science/brain/funding.htm), is to seek input from interested academic/clinical researchers, regulatory and other government agencies, and potential industry partners to identify key barriers and potential opportunities to grant earlier broad access to significant risk recording and/or stimulating medical devices for clinical research. As the intent is to address the unique manufacturing and regulatory burden for SR implantable medical devices, the scope of the RFI is limited to invasive technologies that can st...
