Community Engagement Evaluation and Data Coordination (CEED) Hub to Advance Data and Practice Transformation for Optimizing Oral Health for All (U01, Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), with other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for a Community Engagement Evaluation and Data coordination hub (CEED) for the Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Consortium—Advancing DAta and Practice Transformation (ADAPT) for Optimizing Oral Health for All Across the Lifespan. In addition to CEED, the consortium will include separately funded CBPR projects, which will receive consultative services from the NIH Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource (CEACR) and join in the Science Collaborative for Health disparities and Artificial intelligence Reduction of Errors (SCHARE) platform for the overarching goal of promoting data use and transformational community engagement to optimize oral health for all people. The CEED will coordinate communications and various activities in support of CBPR projects and consortium functions in three domains:1) Data Planning, Consultation, and Technical Assistance for Research Methodology and Analytics; 2) Community Engagement Evaluation; and 3) ADAPT Infrastructure and Operational Support. 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. This NOFO will utilize the U01 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights in program evaluation, quality improvement, population data science and coordination are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
