Background The Critical Path Initiative, launched by FDA in 2004, has the objective of helping modernize the development, evaluation, manufacture, and use of FDA-regulated products. Through nationwide collaboration with other Federal, academic, scientific, and industry organizations, the initiative seeks to develop new tools to facilitate innovation in FDA-regulated product development. Examples of tools include novel biomarkers, laboratory assays, genetic tests, and state-of-the art information technologies, etc. In this initiative, FDA plays the role of a facilitator in the creation of partnerships and collaborations to support specific scientific projects. FDA and Duke University’s Department of Translational Medicine Institute (DTMI) co-founded CTTI. CTTI’s goal is to systematically modernize the clinical trial process, a goal shared by FDA’s Critical Path Initiative. CTTI is made up of a broad representation of member organizations including government, industry, patient advocacy groups, professional societies, and academia. The participants are working together to identify practices that through broad adoption will increase the quality and efficiency of clinical trials. CTTI is generating evidence about how to improve the design and execution of clinical trials. Projects about design will address principles generally applicable to clinical trials to ensure that they are fit to accomplish their intended purpose. B. Research Objectives The goals of this program are to develop an administrative and scientific infrastructure to support the creation VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:25 Jun 18, 2009 Jkt 217001 and execution of a series of projects under the auspices of CTTI, to complement the goals of FDA’s Critical Path Initiative.

C. Eligibility Information This is a sole source award to DTMI located within Duke University to support the CTTI. Only one award will be made to the DTMI to support the CTTI. II. Award Information/Funds Available A. Award Amount FDA anticipates providing up to $1.5 million (direct and indirect costs combined) during fiscal year 2009 to support research and related efforts of identified projects that are part of the Critical Path Initiative.

Section 1115 funds awarded to each project will represent 29 percent (29%) of the total project costs. The total approved project cost is the sum of the ACF grant award under Section 1115, regular Federal Financial Participation (FFP), and the State share.

The five percent (5%) match may be provided through in-kind contributions, as allowed by section 1115(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act. For example, if an applicant’s total project budget is $150,000, this would be made up of three funding sources: Section 1115 funds (29% = $43,500), cost sharing (5% = $7,500) and regular Title IV–D Federal Financial Participation/FFP (66% = $99,000). Title IV–D applicants that anticipate satisfying the matching requirement through in-kind contributions, or the use of incentive funds awarded under section 458 of the Social Security Act, must request prior approval as part of the required budget justification (see Section IV.2.

    Historically, the imposition of a matching requirement on awards 
under this program resulted in an increased level of commitment to the 
project and its success and sustainability, without creating an undue 
financial burden on the grantee.
    Section 1115 funds awarded to each project will represent 29 
percent (29%) of the total project costs. The total approved project 
cost is the sum of the ACF grant award under Section 1115, regular 
Federal Financial Participation (FFP), and the State share. For the 
purposes of the demonstration projects, the total expenditures will be 
treated as State expenditures under Title IV-D that will be reimbursed 
by the regular Title IV-D FFP match of 66 percent (66%). Applicants 
must prepare a formal budget on the required standard forms, as listed 
in Section IV.2, Content and Form of Application Submission of the 
funding opportunity announcements.
    Grantees must provide at least five percent (5%) of the total 
approved project cost. This non-Federal, i.e., State share, may be met 
by cash, incentive funds (awarded under section 458 of the Social 
Security Act), or in-kind contributions. The five percent (5%) match 
may be provided through in-kind contributions, as allowed by section 
1115(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act. For example, if an 
applicant's total project budget is $150,000, this would be made up of 
three funding sources: Section 1115 funds (29% = $43,500), cost sharing 
(5% = $7,500) and regular Title IV-D Federal Financial Participation/
FFP (66% = $99,000).
    Title IV-D applicants that anticipate satisfying the matching 
requirement through in-kind contributions, or the use of incentive 
funds awarded under section 458 of the Social Security Act, must 
request prior approval as part of the required budget justification 
(see Section IV.2. Budget and Budget Justification in the published 
funding opportunity announcements) in accordance with section 
1115(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act. Costs borne by matching 
contributions are subject to the regulations governing allowability
