The National Institutes of Health is offering grants for research aiming to enhance case finding, cascade screening, and treatment for Familial Hypercholesterolemia. This funding opportunity supports clinical trials targeting barriers to population-level implementation, exploring implementation science methodologies, developing machine learning algorithms for high-risk individual identification from EHRs, and optimizing treatment strategies. Applicants should focus on improving family-based cascade screening programs for FH, assessing uptake, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and scalability, ultimately aiming to enhance health outcomes in this population. Application deadline is on May 7, 2021.

| Description: | This milestone-driven Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for single-site clinical trials that: (1) address barriers that impede population-level implementation of case finding and cascade screening (i.e., blood relatives of FH index cases are systematically contacted based on their risk according to the pattern of inheritance); (2) explore implementation science methodologies to assess the uptake, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and scalability of family-based cascade screening programs for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH); (3) develop or improve machine learning algorithms and data mining techniques to find high-risk individuals using electronic health records (EHRs); and (4) optimize treatment strategies and health outcomes. |
