PAR-21-24 3. The DCC application must be specific to the companion Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) application.
The objective of the DCC application is to propose a comprehensive plan that provides overall project coordination, and administrative, data management, and biostatistical support for the proposed clinical trial.
Both a DCC application and a corresponding CCC application need to be submitted simultaneously for consideration by NCCIH.
Trials for which this NOFO applies must be relevant to the research mission of NCCIH and considered a high priority by the Center.
For additional information about the mission, strategic vision, and research priorities of NCCIH, applicants are encouraged to consult the NCCIH website (http://www.nccih.nih.gov).
Applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate Scientific/Research contact for the area of science for which they are planning to develop an application prior to submitting to this NOFO.
This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation.
Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.
