Both a DCC application and a corresponding CCC application need to be submitted simultaneously for consideration by NCCIH. Trials for which this NOFO applies must be relevant to the research mission of NCCIH and considered a high priority by the Center. For additional information about the mission, strategic vision, and research priorities of NCCIH, applicants are encouraged to consult the NCCIH website (http://www.nccih.nih.gov).
