Research supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), strives to understand, treat, and ultimately prevent the myriad infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases that threaten millions of human lives. The NIAID Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) supports extramural research to control and prevent diseases caused by virtually all infectious agents, including research to counter bioterrorism. This includes basic and applied research to develop and evaluate therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics that is funded through a variety of research grants and contracts. The evaluation of therapeutics, vaccines, devices, diagnostics and treatment strategies in clinical trials and studies is an essential element of the efforts of NIAID. Through multiple grant and contract research programs, NIAID supports a broad range of clinical research, including single-center and multi-center Phase 1-4 clinical trials; surveillance or natural history / cohort studies; evaluation of novel diagnostic devices or product delivery systems; new vaccine formulations, schedules and modes of delivery; evaluation of safety and efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics against emerging infectious diseases, including NIAID Category A, B and C priority pathogens; and studies of critical public health needs for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. The NIAID DMID Office of Clinical Research Affairs (OCRA) provides resources and services in support of clinical research to DMID and DMID-supported investigators and fulfills DMID’s regulatory obligations for clinical research oversight through a contract for clinical research operations and management support services: Clinical Research Operations and Management Support (CROMS).
