The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) encourages grant applications for pilot studies for clinical trials in neurological disorders.* The objective of this program announcement is to increase the quality of clinical research to evaluate interventions for the treatment or prevention of neurological disease, and to obtain preliminary data and conduct studies to support the rationale for a subsequent full-scale clinical trial of interventions to treat or prevent neurological disease. Examples of potential research include: studies to refine the intervention strategy (dosage, duration, delivery system) and define the target population, and collection of preliminary data for establishing measures of efficacy and safety. For more information, potential applicants should contact Dr. John Marler, Associate Director for Clinical Trials, NINDS, Neuroscience Center, 6001 Executive Boulevard, Room 2216, Bethesda, MD 20892; telephone: (301) 496-9135; fax: (301) 480-1080; e-mail: jml37f@nih.gov; or Dr. Barbara Radziszewska, Clinical Research Project Manager, Clinical Trials Cluster, NINDS, Neuroscience Center, 6001 Executive Boulevard, Room 2216, Bethesda, MD 20892; telephone: (301) 496-9135; fax: (301) 480-1080; e-mail: br94h@nih.gov.
