Objectives of the DECIPHeR subcommittees

Subcommittee	Objectives
Implementation subcommittee	Discuss all aspects of preparation, planning, and operationalization of implementation research with the goal of optimizing the research by the sharing of ideas including the identification of facilitators and barriers. In collaboration with the Measurement subcommittee select and plan implementation outcome measures with an emphasis on common measures (measurements used by more than one Implementation Research Center). Identify cross‐center opportunities to advance implementation science.
Intervention subcommittee	Discuss all aspects of preparation, planning, and operationalization of the evidence‐based effectiveness intervention with the goal of optimizing the research by the sharing of ideas. Develop a list of common process evaluation measures across the studies, including a set of process components that each site will measure (i.e., reach, dose delivered, dose received, fidelity, and secular trends) and, if possible, a common way to measure each process component.
Community engagement subcommittee	Support community and participant engagement and identify opportunities to strengthen (and potentially align) study approaches to engagement and community capacity building. Share plans for the development of partnerships and methods for engagement of stakeholders. Also, identify cross center opportunities to advance the science of how best to engage communities/partners/stakeholders in research to implement the multilevel interventions needed to reduce disparities and promote equity in heart and lung disease.
Design and analysis subcommittee	Review and enhance study designs and quantitative analytic plans.
Measurement subcommittee	In collaboration with other subcommittees, provide recommendations for standardization of common measures. This includes all types of measures—implementation, process variables, clinical/effectiveness measures (intervention, outcome, mediators, and moderators), adverse events, recruitment, retention, engagement, and social determinants of health.
Publications, presentations, and ancillary studies subcommittee	Develop policies regarding publications, presentations, ancillary studies, and access to data from the DECIPHeR studies.
Training and mentoring subcommittee	Provide cross research center mentorship and training opportunities to trainees and early stage investigators in the DECIPHeR Alliance (post‐doctoral fellows and junior faculty) and to community members and stakeholders.
