Description (from the official listing)
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the Coordinating Center for the EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network. The overarching goals of the EmbraceHealth Network are to establish and maintain an efficient and nimble infrastructure to conduct research to address emerging, urgent, or chronic health needs among populations that experience health disparities. Each site within the Network will conduct research to develop, test, and implement clinical and behavioral interventions and services that address key public health needs and diseases with evidence of health disparities. Interventions will be designed and evaluated using robust scientific methods and must demonstrate feasibility, scalability, and reproducibility. The EmbraceHealth Network will serve the purpose of improving routine healthcare services as well as linking clinical practice and science within lower resourced healthcare settings.The Coordinating Center will support the Clinical Research Network sites by:Coordinating research activities, including the Steering Committee and workgroups.Identifying network personnel and clinicians for study teams.Developing operational manuals and standardized protocols for multi-site studies, including consent and IRB processes.Assisting CRN sites in implementing projects with technical and quality control support.Maintaining a data management system for study data, including guidance from NIMHD.Standardizing protocols for common data elements, including…
