Call for proposals: Evaluate Canadian Biotechnologies with Randomized Controlled Trials
15 May 2023
The Accelerating Clinical Trials/Accélérer les Essais Cliniques (ACT/AEC) Consortium has released a call for proposals entitled Evaluate Canadian Biotechnologies with Randomized Controlled Trials. Submit the full application to act-aec@phri.ca by noon EST on July 7, 2023.
Given that most biotechnologies require randomized controlled trials (RCT) demonstrating efficacy and safety to obtain regulatory approvals, the objective of this request for applications (RFA) is to fund trials evaluating products from Canadian-controlled biotechnology companies in partnership with ACT Network clinical trialists. Through this RFA, ACT aims to provide foundational support to Canada’s Biomanufacturing and Life Sciences Strategy (BLSS) by enabling Canada’s best researchers and companies to undertake the clinical trials efficiently, aligned with BLSS, Pillar 3: Growing Businesses by Doubling Down on Existing and Emerging Areas of Strength; the goal being to improve the health of Canadians.
The nominated principal investigator(s) must be a Canadian researcher who affiliated with one of ACT’s 28 Networks and leadership must be in partnership with a biotech company representative.
