FDA has awarded two 2021 grants under the CDER Standard Core Clinical Outcome Assessments and their Related Endpoints pilot program that was launched in 2019\. An agency [notice](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs/cder-pilot-grant-program-standard-core-clinical-outcome-assessments-coas-and-their-related-endpoints?ref=fdaweb.com) says the pilot is to support the development of publicly available core sets of clinical outcome assessments and their related endpoints for specific disease indications. The two new grants are: 

- · preparing a clinical outcomes assessment set for nephrotic syndrome, conducted by a team from the University of Michigan and Northwestern University, and
- expanding the Observer-Reported Communication Ability Measure, conducted by a Duke University team.

The notice also lists the three initial grants that were made in 2019.
