Description
The National Institutes of Health, through NIDDK, is supporting continuation of the Physiology of the Weight Reduced State (POWERS) clinical trial. POWERS investigates the physiological processes underlying individual differences in weight regain following weight loss achieved through a lifestyle intervention. Continuation funding will allow the ongoing trial to be completed and collected data and biospecimens to be analyzed.
This U01 cooperative agreement opportunity requires clinical trials and invites a single-source application from the POWERS consortium’s Data Coordinating Center. The application will undergo NIH’s standard peer-review process, and only meritorious applications will be considered for funding.
