To tackle the human health challenges that face the world today, the FNIH develops collaborations with top experts from government, industry, academia and the not-for-profit sector and provides a neutral environment where we can work productively toward a common goal.
The Moderate Alcohol and Cardiovascular Health Trial (MACH15) was a longitudinal, international clinical trial to determine the effects of moderate alcohol use on cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The National Institute of Nursing Research hosted a two-day Summit to gather a variety of stakeholder perspectives on the spectrum of caregiving issues and research for conditions and illnesses that may occur across the lifespan.
The 2016 Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) Summit was hosted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and held March 29-30, 2016 at the Natcher Auditorium on the NIH Campus.
Development & Production of Endotoxin under GMP for Human Clinical Research is a program enabling NIH to develop and produce a new strain of endotoxin under good manufacturing practices (GMP) conditions.
Pilot Projects on Sports-Related Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research was a component of the Sports and Health Research Program (SHRP) that funds pilot projects for research on sports-related traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury research.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and Delayed Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury was a component of the Sports and Health Research Program. It sought to more fully characterize the neuropathology associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and delayed effects of traumatic brain injury through systematic, rigorous and collaborative studies of post-mortem biospecimens.
This workshop aimed at creating alignment among scientific stakeholders including the FDA, the NIH, the biopharmaceutical industry, academic researchers and patient groups regarding a proposed framework for determining the levels of evidence required to qualify biomarkers for use in drug development.
The project seeks to analyze volumetric CT imaging trial data from completed industry phase II solid tumor trials to improve quantitative prediction of phase III results.
Minimal residual disease (MRD) is the amount of disease detected by molecular or cellular means when the patient is in a clinical and pathological state of remission after treatment of leukemia. The goals of this project are to assess whether MRD may be an endpoint for use as a DDT and to standardize MRD measurement in adult precursor B-lineage ALL.
The project seeks to show that a liquid biopsy can serve as a source of rare circulating cells (CTCs) to comprehensively represent the traditional solid biopsy. The project is designed in two stages to demonstrate the correlation between liquid and solid biopsies in an observational clinical study with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients undergoing resection of liver metastases.
