Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA

Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research proposals to conduct a well-designed study within two or more assisted living facilities serving a diverse patient population to adapt, implement, and evaluate STEADI-based older adult (age 65+) fall prevention. Of particular interest is research that focuses on populations experiencing high rates of older adult falls and fall injuries within these assisted living facilities. These disproportionately affected populations could include: Tribal populations; rural populations; populations disadvantaged by reduced economic stability or limited education attainment; and populations with cognitive (e.g., dementia, Alzheimer’s disease), comorbidities, or physical limitations.
