The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is offering a cooperative agreement (U01) grant to establish a Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) for its Centers for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (CCOR). This grant is for the purpose of facilitating collaboration, coordination, and communication among the CCORs, which conduct research focused on measuring, evaluating, and improving outcomes of cardiovascular care delivery. The RCU will also manage data sharing, support collaborative manuscripts, and organize essential meetings. The CCORs investigate patient and clinician-relevant outcomes like mortality, clinical events, and quality of life. NHLBI intends to fund one RCU application with up to $800,000 in total costs for FY 2010.

| Description: | Purpose. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) solicits four-year cooperative agreement (U01) grant applications from institutions/organizations to serve as the Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) for the Centers for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (CCOR). This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) runs parallel with a separate FOA that solicits the applications for the three Centers (See RFA-HL-10-008). The Centers will conduct cardiovascular outcomes and comparative effectiveness research that focuses on patient and clinician-relevant outcomes of healthcare and the determinants of these outcomes. Each CCOR will conduct 1-2 research projects in which multidisciplinary teams such as clinician researchers, health services researchers, biostatisticians, and/or health economists undertake novel research focusing on measuring, evaluating, and improving outcomes of cardiovascular care delivery across the care continuum. Outcomes relevant for research proposed by the Centers include cardiovascular mortality, clinical events, cost-effectiveness, or quality of life. The Centers can undertake methodological and/or applied research focused on patient outcomes. Among other tasks, the RCU solicited by this FOA (RFA HL-10-018) will facilitate collaboration and coordination of research activities, communication between and among Centers and the NHLBI, and data sharing and collaborative manuscripts. In addition the RCU will plan, arrange, and support meetings of the Steering Committee and its subcommittees, the investigators and trainees, and the OSMB or DSMB.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Cooperative Agreement grant mechanism (U01). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NHLBI intends to commit up to $800,000 in total costs in FY 2010 to fund one Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) application in response to this funding opportunity announcement. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. |
