The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for a Coordinating Center that will support the EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network. This Network aims to create and sustain an agile and efficient infrastructure dedicated to researching health disparities in populations facing persistent, urgent, or emerging health issues. Research sites within the network will focus on developing and testing clinical and behavioral interventions addressing key public health concerns by using scientifically rigorous methods to ensure feasibility, scalability, and reproducibility. The overall objective is to enhance routine healthcare services and bridge clinical practice with research in under-resourced healthcare settings. The Coordinating Center will play a central role in facilitating Network operations by managing research activities and committees, identifying personnel, creating standardized protocols and operational manuals, assisting in project implementation, and maintaining systems for study data management. It will provide biostatistical support, guide infrastructure development including data harmonization and data science expertise, and ensure secure storage and sharing of study materials. Preparations for application submission are not yet open, and the NOFO is announced in advance to give applicants time to foster collaborations and develop multidisciplinary research proposals. This initiative will utilize the U24 cooperative agreement activity code to fund the center’s efforts.

The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the Coordinating Center for the EmbraceHealth Clinical Research Network. The overarching goals of the EmbraceHealth 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. Each site within the Network will conduct research to develop, test, and implement clinical and behavioral interventions and services that address key public health needs and diseases with evidence of health disparities. Interventions will be designed and evaluated using robust scientific methods and must demonstrate feasibility, scalability, and reproducibility. The EmbraceHealth Network will serve the purpose of improving routine healthcare services as well as linking clinical practice and science within lower resourced healthcare settings.


The Coordinating Center will support the Clinical Research Network sites by:

  • Coordinating research activities, including the Steering Committee and workgroups.
  • Identifying network personnel and clinicians for study teams.
  • Developing operational manuals and standardized protocols for multi-site studies, including consent and IRB processes.
  • Assisting CRN sites in implementing projects with technical and quality control support.
  • Maintaining a data management system for study data, including guidance from NIMHD.
  • Standardizing protocols for common data elements, including biospecimen and electronic health record (EHR) data collection.
  • Providing biostatistical support for study design, implementation, and analyses.
  • Advising on infrastructure development, including electronic data harmonization and data science expertise.
  • Coordinating data-sharing plans among CRN sites.
  • Ensuring secure storage and access to study-related materials.


Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in multiple scientific and clinical disciplines will be encouraged.


Activity Code:

This NOFO will utilize the U24 (Research Program Grant Cooperative Agreements) activity code.
