Part 2. Section I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Scope of the Program

For applications relevant to the mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS): NINDS will not support first in human demonstrations, early Feasibility studies or definitive clinical trials of therapeutics through the BRP mechanism (Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, Feasibility/Pivotal trials), but does support these efforts through other mechanisms (see http://www.ninds.nih.gov/research/clinical_research/ for details). Pre-clinical efforts leading directly to an FDA submission to obtain an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) are also supported through other mechanisms (see http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/funding_announcements/Funding-Bins-Translational-Research.htm for details). Investigators should contact NINDS Program Staff to identify the appropriate mechanism for such clinical efforts.

All other aspects of this FOA remain unchanged.
