| Description: | -Purpose. The National Institutes of Health invite applications to establish the PROMIS Statistical Center (PSC) as part of the PROMIS Network. The PROMIS Network is intended to be a resource for the clinical research community. The PSC will conduct collaborative research on statistical and psychometric aspects of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and will coordinate the data collection from the PROMIS Research Sites (PRS), manage data quality, assist in general population sampling for new item bank testing, provide psychometric and statistical support for the PROMIS Network as well as develop PROMIS-approved translations of new and extant domains.Successful applicants will join a network of existing and new centers to foster the advancement, development, and application of new technologies for the use of PROs in clinical research by working collaboratively to achieve the goals of the NIH PROMIS initiative: (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/clinicalresearch/overview-dynamicoutcomes.aspd). -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U54 Research Center Cooperative Agreement grant mechanism. It runs in parallel with two (2) other U54 FOAs with similar scientific scope, RFA-RM-08-022 and RFA-RM-08-024, and one (1) U01 RFA-RM-08-023. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount of funding from the NIH Roadmap for new awards under this initiative is approximately $600,000 total costs per year. NIH expects to make one award in FY09. |
