11. Useful Links
EU member countries biomedical and behavioral researchers can seek contacts in the U.S. academic
research community through a search of the NIH Office of Extramural Research website. This offers
such researchers an opportunity to search for their areas of interest vis-Ă -vis U.S. researchers are
working on related areas throughout the United States. See: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm
EU researchers could also usefully search www.clinicaltrials.gov for possible contacts.
NIH Research Portfolio Online Tools system can also be searched potential research

$16,079 M (Basic Research)$10,720 M (Applied-Clinical Research)$3,248 M (Applied-other than Clinical Research)$108 M (Training & Overhead)Applied Research: Systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding necessary to determine the means by which a recognized and specific need may be met.Basic Research: Systematic study directed toward fuller knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. Basic research, however, may include activities with broad applications in mind.Clinical Research (RCDC Definition): Patient-oriented research-research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. Excluded from this definition are in vitro studies that utilize human tissues but do not deal directly with patients. In other words, clinical or patient-oriented research is research in which it is necessary to know the identity of the patients from whom the cells or tissues under study are derived.
