Clinical Observational (CO) Studies in Musculoskeletal, Rheumatic, and Skin Diseases
Deadline: March 1, 2015
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) invites applications to pursue clinical observational (CO) studies to obtain data necessary for designing clinical trials for musculoskeletal, rheumatic, or skin diseases or conditions. Research data from observational cohort studies can enhance clinical trial design by providing essential information about disease symptoms, stages and timing of disease progression, comorbid conditions, availability of potential clinical trial participants, and outcomes that are important to patients.
Pre-application for a Biomedical Technology Research Resource
Deadline: March 15, 2015
National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) invites pre-applications for the creation of national Biomedical Technology Research Resources (BTRRs). These Resources develop new or improved technology driven by the needs of basic, translational, and clinical researchers. The BTRRs are charged to make their technologies available the biomedical research community, to train members of this community in the use of the technologies, and to disseminate both the technologies and the Resource’s experimental results broadly.
