Description
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), part of NIH, supports investigator-initiated R01 clinical trials of remotely delivered complementary and integrative health interventions. Trials may be explanatory, effectiveness, or pragmatic studies, using tools such as telephone delivery, apps, video, web platforms, or wearables. Supported approaches include mind and body interventions, nutritional approaches and natural products, and combinations with conventional care.
This opportunity is for fully powered trials supported by a compelling rationale, preliminary human evidence, and an experienced remote-trial team—not early feasibility studies. Recruitment, intervention delivery, and data collection must all be remote and accommodate geographically distributed participants. The goal is rigorous evidence about clinical benefit and safety in NCCIH-designated priority areas.
