Limited Competition: NIH Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory - Coordinating Center (U24): The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for continuation of a Coordinating Center to provide national leadership for the NIH Health Care Systems (HCS) Research Collaboratory program. The Coordinating Center will 1) further develop, adapt, and adopt technical and policy guidelines and best practices for the effective conduct of research studies in partnership with health care systems; 2) work collaboratively with each Demonstration Project team supported through the Collaboratory program, including their partnering health care systems, to develop, test, and implement the proposed Demonstration Projects while providing technical, design, and coordination support; 3) learn and disseminate the best strategies for engaging health care systems as research partners to improve health and care delivery; and 4) learn, develop, and disseminate the best means of conducting pragmatic clinical trials in health care systems to improve the scientific communitys ability to perform future pragmatic trials. The Coordinating Center will also serve as the central resource for the activities of the HCS Collaboratory.
