  • Leveraged preexisting relationships and built a multidisciplinary research team.
  • Adapted the proposal to capitalize on the unique strengths of each study site.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully developed a cognitive-behavioral intervention for CRF and completed an instrumentation study.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of completing complex research protocols within a one-year planning grant.
    • Highlighted the critical role of planning meetings and flexible team dynamics.

    Conclusions:

    • Multisite research is inherently complex, particularly with a planning grant.
    • Success hinges on explicit planning for decision-making, acknowledging site differences, and assembling an expert team.
    • Recommendations focus on team building, communication, flexibility, and resource management.
