Description

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute invites applications for a Research Coordinating Center (RCC) to support projects from RFA-HL-20-003 Disparities Elimination through Coordinated Interventions to Prevent and Control Heart and Lung Disease Risk (DECIPHeR), which will test late-stage (T4) implementation research strategies for optimally and sustainably delivering proven-effective, evidence-based multi-level interventions to reduce or eliminate cardiovascular and/or pulmonary health disparities, and that promote and improve population health in high-burden communities (see RFA-HL-20-003). The DECIPHeR RCC will coordinate activities across all of the DECIPHeR projects, including coordinating and managing in-person and virtual network steering committee meetings and working groups; promoting collaboration and communication among investigators and the broader research community; coordinating network outreach activities; promoting skills development in implementation science; and organizing, implementing, and managing a global implementation data safety and monitoring board (DSMB) and providing clinical study and site monitoring for DECIPHeR awards. For the purpose of this FOA, late-stage (T4) implementation research is defined as research to identify strategies to achieve sustainable uptake of proven-effective interventions into routine clinical and public health practice and community-based settings and maximize the positive impact on population health.
