Description

This AHRQ funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Resource-Related Research Project (R24) applications from applicant organizations that propose to build new and/or enhance existing capacity inresearch and dissemination infrastructure that will bridge the gap between clinical and health services research and everyday practice by building a knowledge base about how to improve the translation and dissemination of evidence-based health information, interventions, and clinical practices to populations not traditionally reached by such information or practice.In addition, AHRQ is aiming through this FOA to seed a sustainable infrastructure that would continue to disseminate appropriate evidence-based health information to such a population independent of research grant support.Applicants are invited to use collaborative expertise to propose innovative approaches to customizations of content and delivery mechanisms of existing evidence-based health information and/or tools for their use in the target audience(s) (as defined in this FOA under Part II Section I.1, Research Objectives section) so as to increase their use, implementation, and impact.Innovations should aim to increase the impact and effective use of evidence-based health information and/or tools by developing, implementing, and evaluating customizations that target important audiences, stakeholders, systems, or settings; these customizations should engage multiple user-stakeholders, including the target audience, and be grounded by the original evidence-based information/tools contents.
