Type of Grant: Grants
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 03/22/2022

Details:
The CLIF-VP Research Network will consist of a Coordinating Center (CC) and up to 10 UG3/UH3 Research Projects testing a community or community organization level prevention program designed to prevent firearm and related violence, injury, and mortality. The CC and each of the Research Projects will also work collaboratively with one or more Science Officers and Program Officers from NIH institutes, centers, and offices (ICOs). The CLIF-VP Research Network will include at least one Stakeholder Board (SB) to ensure that the Network research and priorities align with the current needs in the field and to increase the likelihood that the interventions being tested can be feasibly adopted and sustained if found to be effective.
The CLIF-VP Research Network priorities and activities will be governed by a Steering Committee (SC) which at a minimum will include at least two representatives from each of the Research Projects (e.g., both academic PI and community organization/partner key personnel or MPI), the CC, and at least one NIH representative. The CLIF-VP Research Network Steering Committee will meet at least monthly and be chaired by a person (or people) with relevant expertise who will be determined by NIH, the CC and all Research Projects. Based on the priorities set by the Steering Committee, workgroups will be established to carry out cross-project activities. For example, NIH anticipates there will be at least three workgroups, one on data harmonization, one on community engagement, and one on network dissemination activities.
