Conference ID: 9485483SPOR Networks in Chronic Disease
This funding opportunity will provide support for the
development and implementation of SPOR Networks in non-
communicable Chronic Diseases. For the purpose of this
opportunity, non-communicable chronic disease is defined as
a long-term disease that is not passed from one person to
another; it evolves over time, often progressing in severity.
Although a non-communicable chronic disease may be
prevented and can often be controlled, it is rarely cured.

Conference ID: 9485483Focus of the Networks
Anchored on the challenges in Valley 1 research as it bridges to
Valley 2.
First-in-human and beyond research in non-communicable
chronic diseases that have resulted in areas of high disease
burden.
Networks are strongly encouraged to explore the opportunities
for impact across multiple non-communicable chronic diseases.
No more than one network will be funded in any particular focus
area.
Successful networks are expected to include relevant
international collaborations.

Conference ID: 9485483Objectives
The primary objective of the opportunity will be to translate
existing and new knowledge generated by basic biomedical,
clinical, and population health research into testing of
innovations that can improve clinical science and practice and
foster policy changes, leading to transformative and
measureable improvements in patient health outcomes, and
in efficiency and effectiveness healthcare delivery within five
years.

Conference ID: 9485483Objectives
Network applicants will be expected to show that the planned
program of research and knowledge translation will have a
significant impact on non-communicable chronic diseases and their
co-morbidities by:
Addressing patient-oriented research priorities and developing an
interdisciplinary nation-wide agenda of outcomes-oriented
research.
Accelerating the translation of existing and new knowledge
generated by basic biomedical, clinical, and population health
research into clinical science and practice and policy applications.
Strengthening the capacity to conduct patient-oriented research
through an integrated multidisciplinary program that provides
unique and innovative training and mentoring opportunities.
Fostering the development and implementation of evidence-
informed and gender-responsive practices, policies, services,
products and programs to improve patient outcomes, access to
