Community Based Participatory Research To Advance DAta and Practice Transformation (ADAPT) For Optimizing Oral Health For All Across the Lifespan (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Optional)

<p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">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 cooperative agreement research applications to evaluate, implement, and/or test population-based interventions to policies, programs, and/or practices for promoting integration of services, systems, and/or values by leveraging cross-sector partnerships in communities. Such interventions must address social and chronic disease common risk factors and/or barriers driving oral disease burden in communities. Projects funded through this funding opportunity and a separately funded Community Engagement Evaluation and Data Coordination hub (CEED) will form a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Consortium—Advancing Data and Practice Transformation (ADAPT), 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 across the lifespan. 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 UG3/UH3 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights in population-based interventions and cross-sector partnered research are encouraged to consider applying for this new NOFO.</span></p>
