Description

The purpose of this limited competition funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to continue the support of the Data Coordinating Center and the Clinical Sites of the NASH Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) as they complete two clinical treatment trials -- one in adults and one in children -- and continue to longitudinally gather biospecimens and data of children and adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including steatosis, steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis (NAFLD database study). The NASH CRN has been sponsored by the NIDDK since 2002 and renewed in 2009. Research in the NASH CRN has been focused on the etiology, contributing factors, natural history, complications, and therapy of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
