| Description:: | This announcement solicits applications for the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Pediatric Research Network Program competition. Support in the form of a cooperative agreement is available from the Division of Research, Training and Education (DRTE), part of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). We are aware that preparation of this application will involve a considerable commitment of time and energy. Please read the funding opportunity announcement carefully before completing the application. The MCH Pediatric Research Network Program exists to support a pediatric applied research network that promotes coordinated multi-centered research activities, focused on translating research to practice that should result in health and health service improvements when applied directly into pediatric primary care and/or service settings. These funds should be used to identify more effective approaches to children’s health in primary care settings. This will be accomplished through the development and maintenance of a national network of primary care child health professionals who collaborate in the development and implementation of research designed to increase critical child health care knowledge. The network must include research that addresses the four MCHB Strategic Research Issues (see Appendix B). The program goals of this project will be achieved through the development and maintenance of a national network of primary care practitioners who will collaborate to implement common research protocols aimed at enriching child health care. This cooperative agreement will support the establishment and maintenance of a research network that will: o Develop new ideas and conduct research studies on critical child health issues. o Increase the capacity of network-affiliated primary care practitioners and other affiliates to generate and refine original research studies that address key issues affecting child health and pediatric healthcare. o Develop network infrastructure to enable performance of innovative research projects that integrate cutting-edge technologies and advanced methodologies. o Develop evidence-based guidelines based on network research findings for use by practitioners and that will result in improvements in child health care services. o Develop and mentor new researchers from among network members. o Demonstrate use of state-of-the-art technologies such as web-based meetings and webinars to conduct various network activities and communication. o Disseminate critical information on its research findings and guidelines developed to health professionals, policy makers, and the public via peer review publications, presentations, websites, webinars, and other new media. It is expected that the network establish the infrastructure to carry out specific critical child health research studies supported by MCHB and external funding sources. |
