Notice of Intent to Publish a Forecast for EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network to Reduce Health Disparities ? Research Sites

The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network. The overarching goals of the EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network are to establish and maintain an efficient and nimble infrastructure to conduct research to address emerging, urgent, or chronic health needs among populations that experience health disparities. • Establish a robust infrastructure to support research by recruiting and enrolling clinicians efficiently for health services and clinical research. • Harmonize electronic health record (EHR) data across systems using approved common data elements for analyses within and across Network sites. • Develop, test, and deploy interventions, workflows, and decision support systems. • Create and test strategies to address health care disparities in primary and/or subspecialty care. • Facilitate research on emergent health conditions and factors relevant to health disparities. • Collaborate with other Network sites and the Coordinating Center to transfer deidentified data to a central repository for further research.
