Clinical Observational (CO) Studies in Musculoskeletal, Rheumatic, and Skin Diseases (R01): This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage Research Project Grant (R01) applications to pursue clinical observational (CO) studies to obtain data necessary for designing clinical trials for musculoskeletal, rheumatic, or skin diseases or conditions. Research data from observational cohort studies can enhance clinical trial design by providing essential information about disease symptoms, stages and timing of disease progression, comorbid conditions, availability of potential clinical trial participants, and outcomes that are important to patients. CO studies also can facilitate efforts to develop and/or validate objective biomarkers or subjective outcome measures for use in a future trial or trials. Applicants to this FOA are encouraged to propose studies that address significant obstacles or questions in the design of a clinical trial, such as determining the appropriate primary or secondary outcome measures, or identifying the stages of disease during which patients are most likely to respond to an intervention. Only observational studies will be supported through this FOA.
