This funding announcement supports small research grants to study how to spread, adopt, adapt, integrate, sustain, scale, or de-implement evidence-based health interventions, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. It is for dissemination and implementation research, including studies of methods, measures, economics, and policy implementation, and it does not support efficacy trials or tests of therapies, imaging, diagnostics, biologics, or devices. The text says the award mechanism is R03, with studies expected to be small in size and scope and carried out in a short period with limited resources. Specific institute interests include cancer, genomics, aging, and child health; some assigned applications must fit institute priority areas and populations, and NHGRI-funded projects may be invited to annual grantee meetings with travel costs allowed in the budget.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (de-implement) the use of practices that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. All applications must be within the scope of the mission of one of the Institutes/Centers listed above.
