Launching an NIH Funded Study with Dr. Manish Shah

In the fiscal year 2021, the National Institute of Health (NIH) funded only 16,959 out of 80,878 research project grants.  In other words, the success rate was 21%. And the total funding amount was $8,827,444,624. The question I had was, "What does it take to get grant approval and launch an NIH funded research project?" To answer this question, I invited Dr. Manish Shah,  Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and Attending Physician in the Texas Children's Hospital Emergency Center in Houston.  Dr. Shah has served on several national committees to advocate for improvements in pediatric and prehospital emergency care.  His research has focused on developing, implementing, and studying outcomes related to evidence-based protocols for various clinical conditions, including seizures.  Dr. Shah is currently the Principal Investigator for the Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures in Emergency Medical Services (PediDOSE) study, which has been funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and is being conducted in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN). Please join me in welcoming Dr. Shah on the Clinical Trial Podcast.  This episode is brought you by Florence Healthcare. To learn more, please visit https://florencehc.com/
