Description
This opportunity supports research projects that advance the science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) in health. The focus is on identifying, developing, and testing strategies to overcome barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, sustainability, scale-up, and spread of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. Projects may also address the de-implementation of ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful practices.
The program encourages studies that:
- Promote equitable dissemination and implementation among underrepresented or health-disparity populations.
- Advance D&I research methods and measures.
- Address re-implementation of evidence-based health services disrupted by disasters (e.g., pandemics, climate change).
- Explore economic evaluations, contextual factors, and stakeholder engagement in D&I.
Applications must be within the mission of at least one participating NIH Institute or Center. Multidisciplinary and stakeholder-engaged approaches are strongly encouraged.
