NIAMS POLICY: CONVERSION OF A GRANT TO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT Release Date: January 30, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-AR-02-001 National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) (http://www.nih.gov/niams/) All NIAMS grantees intending to conduct clinical research (all research involving human participants) should be aware that before an award is made, NIAMS will routinely consider the necessity of substantial program staff technical involvement or participation in programmatic activities of the award. These activities may include (but are not limited to): participation in the design or direction of research or training activities, coordination or participation in collection or analysis of data, and assistance in the management and technical performance of the activity. If such involvement is deemed desirable by the NIAMS, the award mechanism will be converted to a cooperative agreement. As with any award, continuation is conditional upon satisfactory progress, even during the period recommended for support. NIAMS may conduct periodic external peer review of progress for any clinical research project. INQUIRIES General Inquiries related to this notice may be directed to: Joanne Odenkirchen Clinical Coordinator, NIAMS Natcher Building, RM 5AS.43A 45 Center Drive, MSC 4500 Bethesda, MD 20892 Telephone: (301) 594-5055 FAX: (301) 480-4543 E-mail: jo21x@nih.gov
