Description

The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for a Coordinating Center to provide leadership for the HEAL Coordinated Approaches to Pain Care in Health Care Systems Program. The Coordinating Center will 1) work collaboratively with each Project team supported through the Collaboratory program, including their partnering health care system (HCS), to develop, test, and implement the proposed Projects while providing technical, design, and coordination support; 2) provide centralized resources (e.g., electronic health records expertise, study design and statistical expertise for implementation trials, bioethics and regulatory expertise) for coordination and integration of the research effort across all projects; and 3) centralize the engagement of patients, care providers, health care systems, payors, and policy makers to inform the activities of the program of research, with a particular focus on HCS with less historical involvement in research studies. The Coordinating Center also will serve as the central administrative resource for the activities of the Coordinated Approaches to Pain Care Program.
