The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is offering this Cooperative Agreement (U54) grant to transition the existing Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN) into a dedicated research center. This five-year award specifically targets current CVRN grantees funded under RFA-HL-07-011, leveraging their established databases. The primary purpose of this grant is to support high-quality cardiovascular disease (CVD) research in community-based settings, with an emphasis on intervention and comparative effectiveness studies. It aims to advance understanding of how electronic health data systems across integrated healthcare organizations can enhance research, expand the CVRN’s role as a vital resource to NHLBI, and foster collaborations between healthcare providers and external researchers.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite new applications for a five-year Cooperative Agreement (U54) award that will transition the current Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN) to a research center. When the CVRN was initially funded in 2007 (RFA-HL-07-011) applications were limited to those submitted by domestic healthcare delivery organizations. As the current Network has developed significant databases that will be expanded by the new Center, applications responding to this FOA are limited to grantees funded under RFA-HL-07-011. The overarching goals of the CVRN are to support high-quality cardiovascular disease (CVD) research in community-based care, with a particular focus on intervention and comparative effectiveness research; accelerate knowledge of how electronic health data systems across multiple, integrated healthcare organizations can contribute to intervention and comparative effectiveness research; expand the Network’s ability to serve as a resource to NHLBI; and increase research collaborations between healthcare provider organizations and researchers affiliated with organizations outside the Network. |
