Description
The R3 grant program is designed to help researchers advance the adoption and use of evidence-based health interventions beyond the research phase. Rather than funding new research, R3 provides financial support for accessing expert guidance in scaling, dissemination, and implementation. The aim is to ensure that proven health programs and practices achieve real-world impact and sustainability. The program recognizes the need for interdisciplinary expertise, beyond traditional research roles, to successfully expand and sustain interventions.
