RMLs play a key role in disseminating research findings, fostering community engagement, supporting participation in local clinical research, and increasing awareness and use of NIH-supported resources.

This announcement only pertains to RMLs; separate opportunities for the Network Coordinating Center and Network Training Center are expected.
