Limited PCORI Funding Announcement: Implementation of PCORI-Funded Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Results -- Cycle 3 2019
Posted by: PCORI
Post date: September 3, 2019
Due date(s): December 3, 2019
The intent of this limited PFA is to move evidence developed with PCORI research funding toward practical use in improving health care and health outcomes. PCORI will fund projects that aim to implement patient-centered clinical comparative effectiveness research (CER) results obtained from PCORI-funded studies in decision-making settings, and, in selected cases, projects that focus on the dissemination of these findings. This limited PFA gives PCORI investigators the opportunity—following the generation of results from their PCORI-funded research award—to propose the next step(s) for making their research results more useful, actionable, accessible, and available to targeted end-users of these findings. |

Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Posted by: NIH (Reissue of PAR-18-007)
Post date: May 8, 2019
Due date(s): February 5, June 5, October 5
Expiration date: May 8, 2022
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and developing strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines. Conversely, there is a benefit in understanding circumstances that create a need to stop or reduce (“de-implement”) the use of interventions that are ineffective, unproven, low-value, or harmful. In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. |
