AI summary

This funding announcement supports small research grants to study how to spread, adopt, adapt, integrate, sustain, scale, or de-implement evidence-based health interventions, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies. It is for dissemination and implementation research, including studies of methods, measures, economics, and policy implementation, and it does not support efficacy trials or tests of therapies, imaging, diagnostics, biologics, or devices. The text says the award mechanism is R03, with studies expected to be small in size and scope and carried out in a short period with limited resources. Specific institute interests include cancer, genomics, aging, and child health; some assigned applications must fit institute priority areas and populations, and NHGRI-funded projects may be invited to annual grantee meetings with travel costs allowed in the budget.
