mechanism, applications must address at least one of the FY23 TERP Programmatic Goals and at least one of the FY23 TERP Topic Areas.Proposed projects may range from small proof-of-concept clinical trials (e.g., pilot, first-in-human, phase 0) designed to demonstrate the feasibility or inform the design of more advanced trials through large-scale trials to determine efficacy in relevant patient populations.
Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), devices, clinical guidance, and/or emerging approaches and technologies.
It is anticipated that outcomes from studies funded by this award will follow a clinical development plan that advances the research to U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) device or drug approval and/or establishment of clinical practice guidelines, as applicable.Applications to the TERP CTA mechanism must support a clinical trial and may not be used for animal or other preclinical research studies.
The application will be withdrawn if the proposed research is not a clinical trial.
