Purpose

The National Institute of Nursing Research intends to publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications to continue support for the research and resource activities of the Palliative Care Research Cooperative (PCRC). The FOA will be a reissuance of RFA-NR-13-004.

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.

The FOA is expected to be published in Spring 2017 with an expected application due date in Summer 2017.

This FOA will utilize the U24 activity code. Details of the planned reissuance of RFA-NR-13-004 are provided below.

Research Initiative Details

The planned reissue of the PCRC will be solicited through this FOA.

This Notice encourages investigators with expertise and insight into the area of End-of-Life and Palliative Care Science to begin to consider applying for this FOA. NINR intends to limit competition to this FOA to the PCRC and its member institutions constituting the current PCRC funded by NINR.

The scope of applications responsive to this FOA will be able to: 1) refine the role of the PCRC as a broad resource focused on multi-site, clinical research to expand end-of-life and palliative care (EOLPC) science, 2) continue the coordination and administrative functions of the cooperative group 3) support the development of researchers at all levels choosing to specialize in EOLPC research and 4) support the ongoing development and use of a data coordination center including common data elements within a large scale palliative care network.

The goal of this reissued FOA is to increase the capacity of the Palliative Care Research Cooperative to develop scientifically-based methods and research infrastructure that leads to meaningful evidence for improving quality of life of patients with advanced and/or potentially life-limiting illnesses, and their caregivers including family members and providers of care.
