Implementation Research for Multi-morbidity Management in the Context of Non-communicable Diseases in Low- and Middle-Income Countries and US Tribal Populations (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to publish Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) to invite applications for implementation research on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in World Bank-defined low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) Tribal Nation populations in the United States. The research should focus on multi-morbidity management in the context of NCDs. • The FOAs will be published by the NIH participating Institutes and Centers (ICs) in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD). • The applications should propose implementation research projects that address the management of multi-morbidity in LMICs and US Tribal Nation populations. • The research projects should be designed to produce results that can be used to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities in these populations. • The applications should include a plan for evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed implementation research project. • The NIH encourages applications from a variety of organizations, including universities, research institutions, and community-based organizations.
