The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) seeks to continue support of the previously funded program on Translational Research in Alcoholic Hepatitis to accelerate the discovery and validation of new diagnostic and treatment options for patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH).
This
initiative, via a set of five FOAs, aims to enhance and consolidate the existing program into AH Clinical and Translational Network, hereafter termed AH Network.
This consolidated program will consist of 1) Clinical component, 2) Data Coordinating Center, 3) Translational component, and 4) Basic and pre-clinical component.
Through this FOA, applications are sought for a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) to provide expert assistance to support the AH Network on data management, statistical analysis, biospecimen collection, and logistical support under the U24 Resource-Related Research Projects Cooperative Agreements funding mechanism.
