## What the grant funds

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for investigator-initiated clinical trials of complementary and integrative health approaches with physical and/or psychological therapeutic inputs (often called mind and body interventions) in NCCIH-designated areas of high research priority. Applications submitted under this FOA are expected to propose a multi-site clinical trial to assess whether the intervention can be delivered with fidelity across sites; demonstrate feasibility of recruitment, accrual, and randomization of participants across sites; demonstrate participant adherence to the intervention, as well as retention of participants throughout the study across sites; and/or demonstrate feasibility of data collection across sites in preparation for a future multi-site trial. The need for multi-site feasibility trials are expected to be justified by sufficient preliminary data from previous single site feasibility or acceptability trial(s)or the published literature. This FOA will not support randomized clinical trials to determine efficacy or effectiveness. The data collected should be used to fill gaps in scientific knowledge necessary to develop a competitive fully powered multi-site clinical trial that has the potential to make a significant impact on public health Applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate NCCIH Scientific/Research contact for the area of science for which they are planning to develop an application prior to submitting to this FOA..
