This announcement solicits applications for the Children with Special Health Care Needs Research Network (CSHCN-RN) Program. This cooperative agreement opportunity will establish and maintain an interdisciplinary, multi-site, collaborative Research Network (hereafter referred to as "the Network"). The Network will lead, promote, and coordinate national research activities to advance and strengthen the evidence base related to key components of a comprehensive, high quality system of care for children with special health care needs (CSHCN). The Network will extend and refine evidence utilized to establish the national Standards for Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Need2 (http://www.amchp.org/AboutTitleV/Resources/Documents/Standards%20Charts%20FINAL.pdf). The network infrastructure will support the design of a portfolio of multi-site, interdisciplinary research that focuses on fostering the implementation of multi-site research studies, translation of research to policy and practice, and provision of mentoring environment to train a new generation of clinical and non-clinical pediatric researchers.
