Description
The National Institutes of Health invites R01 applications for palliative care research across the lifespan involving people with serious illnesses and/or their care partners. Research must be relevant to the missions of participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices, and may address palliative care access, use, and quality.
The program supports both clinical trials and non-clinical-trial research. Eligible trials span traditional efficacy, real-world efficacy, effectiveness, and dissemination and implementation under Stages II–V of the NIH Stage Model. Non-trial approaches may include health services research, methodologic research, natural experiments, and observational studies. Recipients become members of the research community facilitated by the NIH-funded Advancing the Science of Palliative Care Across the Lifespan (ASCENT) Consortium.
