Applications for clinical trials submitted under this NOFO should have clearly described aims and objectives and have a high likelihood that the trial findings will lead to more definitive, hypothesis-driven trials to improve understanding, diagnosis, prevention or treatment of the diseases studied and have the potential to impact clinical practice and/or public health.Preliminary data regarding intervention efficacy are not required.
