The $500,000 awards are renewable for up to three years and will allow non-government researchers to collaborate with government scientists and use the resources offered in the Clinical Center, the largest hospital in the country developed for clinical research.
The research projects include clinical trials of a drug to prevent pediatric leukemia relapse, clinical trials observing the genetic makeup of prostate cancer, developing a new cardiac catheter and a clinical trial of a vaccine to prevent malaria.
“We are very excited about opening the doors of the Clinical Center to our extramural colleagues who will bring additional cutting-edge research projects and new partnerships that will enrich ongoing efforts translating scientific discovery into tomorrow’s cures at the Clinical Center and in partnering institutions around the country,” said John Gallin, MD, director of the NIH Clinical Center, in a news release.
