HeartShare 2.0: Refining Heart Failure Subtypes and Treatment Targets for Personalized Clinical Trials - Clinical Trial Center and Clinical Centers (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for a new Clinical Trial Center (CTC) and up to seven Clinical Centers (CCs) for the HeartShare 2.0 program. The CTC will coordinate precision clinical trial activities focused on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), including master protocol development, project management, recruitment oversight, performance milestones, and scientific conduct of trials. The CCs will recruit and retain heart failure patients and controls. The CCs will participate in all aspects of conducting a deep phenotyping protocol and longitudinal follow-up of HFpEF patients; obtaining tissue biopsies; and recruiting patients for future clinical trials.Eligible applicants may submit proposals for either the CTC or CC, but must have different PIs. Each application should include CTC or CC as part of their project title.Companion NOFO for RFA-HL-27-009 will support a Data Translation Center (DTC) for overall coordination of the HeartShare program.
