What the grant funds

The FY24 TBIPHRP TRA intends to accelerate the conversion of research findings in psychological health and/or TBI into clinical applications. Funded research outcomes should lead to the development of health care products, technologies, and/or clinical practice guidelines that improve patient outcomes. Additional information about translational research can be found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2829707/ and https://ncats.nih.gov/about/about-translational-science. Applications may include preclinical applied research (including animal research) and clinical research (including pilot/exploratory clinical trials). The FY24 TBIPHRP TRA may also support ancillary studies that are associated with an ongoing or completed clinical trial and projects that optimize the design of future clinical trials. This award may not be used to support studies requiring an exception from informed consent (EFIC). Clinical trials may be designed to evaluate promising new products, pharmacologic agents (drugs or biologics), diagnostics, devices, therapies, clinical guidance, behavioral interventions, emerging approaches and technologies, and/or new indications for products currently U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved or -cleared. Basic research is not allowed: Basic research is defined as research directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications toward process or products in mind. Preliminary data are required: Applications must include preliminary and/or published data to support the proposed research project. The FY24 TBIPHRP TRA allows funding for a pilot/exploratory clinical trial as PART of the funded research project where limited clinical testing of a novel knowledge product,5 intervention, or device is necessary to inform the next step in clinical translation. Such pilot/exploratory clinical trial studies should be small, make up only a portion of the research proposed in the Statement of Work (SOW), and be utilized to establish the feasibility of a potential approach or to aid in device or intervention refinement. Applications that include large-scale clinical trials do not meet the intent of the mechanism. Applications that consist entirely of a pilot/exploratory clinical trial or multiple pilot/exploratory clinical trials may be administratively withdrawn.
