Infectious Diseases Clinical Trials Network (IDCTN) (UM1 Clinical Trial Required)

The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting applications for the Infectious Diseases Clinical Trials Network (IDCTN) via solicitation RFA-AI-27-002. This initiative aims to establish a network consisting of Clinical Trial Evaluation Units (CTEUs) and a Network Coordination Center (NCC) to evaluate interventions for both emerging and chronic infections. While the CTEUs are responsible for the design and implementation of clinical trials, the NCC provides the necessary administrative and operational framework to integrate the network and develop clinical trial concepts with field experts. A key objective of the IDCTN is to foster professional growth by creating opportunities for early-career investigators and those new to the field. Interested parties must submit their applications by the deadline of November 10, 2026. Further inquiries can be directed to the National Institutes of Health at idctn_nofo@mail.nih.gov.
