About this call

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite R01 applications proposing research on palliative care across the lifespan for persons with serious illnesses and/or their care partners relevant to the missions of participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs), including projects focused on palliative care access, use, and quality. Applications may propose hypothesis-driven, milestone-defined palliative care traditional efficacy (Stage II), real-world efficacy (Stage III), effectiveness (Stage IV), and/or dissemination and implementation (Stage V) clinical trials in alignment with the NIH Stage Model (Stages II-V) and relevant Institute or Center policies. Applications may propose non-clinical trial palliative care research, such as health services research, methodologic research, natural experiments, or observational studies. Recipients will become members of the research community facilitated by the NIH-funded Advancing the Science of Palliative Care Across the Lifespan (ASCENT) Consortium.
