Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (R01)

Funds full research on adopting, spreading and sustaining proven health interventions — and on restoring services after a disaster disrupts them.

The full-size version of the National Institutes of Health's implementation research notice, and it carries one addition the smaller version does not.

The core is the same. Strategies for overcoming barriers to adoption, adaptation, integration, sustainability, scale-up and spread of evidence-based interventions — practices, programmes, tools, treatments, guidelines and policies. And the reverse:

Studies identifying, developing and testing strategies to overcome barriers to adoption, adaptation, integration, sustainability, scale-up and spread of evidence-based interventions, practices, programmes, tools, treatments, guidelines and policies, including de-implementation of ineffective or harmful practices, re-implementation of services disrupted by disasters, and advancing dissemination and implementation research methods and measures. Clinical trials are optional.
