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 strategies for optimally and sustainably delivering proven-effective, evidence-based, multi-level interventions to reduce or eliminate cardiovascular and/or pulmonary health disparities, and promote and improve population health in high-burden communities. 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; organizing, establishing, 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, 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.
