Purpose
The purpose of this NOFO is to support comparative effectiveness trials to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of telehealth-based interventions to detect and manage glaucoma among high-risk populations. This NOFO aims to support the study of replicable and scalable interventions that use real-world, payer-provider reimbursement structures within community-based, health care delivery settings in various regions of the United States. Outcomes should be relevant to clinical practice, public health, community implementation, and policy. This NOFO also supports the cost-effectiveness analyses of proposed interventions. The resulting data will assist policymakers, clinicians, and patients make informed decisions to reduce the burden of glaucoma and improve the quality of life for millions of people.
This NOFO will be accomplished through two components, Component A: Comparative effectiveness trials among high-risk populations within community-based settings, and Component B: a coordinating center to provide scientific and logistical support to Component A studies.
