Policy Forum

2011 NIH Conference on Household Air Pollution and Cookstoves

Will conduct a clinical trial across three or more Low and Middle Income Country (LMIC) settings

Will test improved stove and fuel interventions on health outcomes in exposed populations.

Will be a cooperative agreement research grant (UM1)

Published HAP FOA

MAIN COMPONENT WILL HAVE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS

Coordinating Center:

Manage and conduct operations related to the ideation and implementation of a clinical trial.

Follow-up and report to NHLBI recruitment and implementation of the trial at the sites.

Organize Steering Committee, Investigators in person meetings, phone calls, provide payments related to protocol implementation.

Organize the DSMB in person meetings, report to DSMB and NHLBI AEs.

Provide reports of activities to the B&MGF

HAP FOA: component 1

MAIN COMPONENT WILL HAVE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS

Propose and Supervise the implementation of the trial. The trial will:

Test the impact of improved stove and fuel interventions and, when applicable, second-hand cigarette smoke reduction on health outcomes in exposed populations.

Assess short-term (4-5 years) health outcomes: with a particular focus on women and children. Indicators of potential long-term health outcomes in this population should also be assessed.

Low birth weight and higher infant mortality, increased respiratory infections, wheezing in children, and increased rates of stroke, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, eye disorders, burn and other injuries in adults.

Develop and implement an environmental monitoring strategy for the selected stove/fuel used in the intervention trial.

HAP FOA: component 1

Second component (with specific budget, may not be funded):

Will include a biomarker center for the development and validation of clinical, physiological, chemical and biochemical markers of exposure and pathophysiological responses.

The biomarker development and validation will be led by a PD/PI other than the one of the clinical study.

The PD(s)/PI(s) of both projects will collaborate closely to create a seamless research process and integrated data set that analyzes and connects the outcomes of the clinical trial with the biomarker data.

In some circumstances the PD/PI of the biomarker project may need to perform biomarker analyses within the LMIC where the samples have been collected.

Total funds available for the five year grant:

$5,000,000 TC /year for trial and overall management

$1,200,000 TC /year for biomarker center

Direct Costs $5,075,000/year, subdivided as such: Core and recruitment system funds (to a US Institution) may be

requested at up to $1,297,000 direct costs per year. Protocol (capitation) funds may be requested at up to $3,000,000 per

year. (These will be to a foreign Institution in a LMIC given by the US Core Management

Institution and are inclusive of 8 percent F&A costs for foreign grantees as stated in the information on allowable and unallowable costs for foreign grantees, in the NIH Grants Policy Statement Section 16.6).

The biomarker development and validation study (led by a US Institution)  may not exceed $778,000 direct costs per year.
