Grant Description

Purpose. This ASPE FOA, supported by funds provided to ASPE under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA), Public Law 111-5, invites grant applications from organizations that propose to develop and test interventions to improve the translation and adoption of existing comparative effectiveness research (CER) information and incorporate these findings into practice in both the public and private sectors. Doing so effectively would demonstrate a return on the CER investment, and, more importantly, improve the health of patients. Funds will be used to support organizations that 1) develop and implement evidence-informed and innovative CER-based adoption interventions targeting patients and/or providers; 2) develop proposals that test the implementation of CER-based adoption strategies within and across organizations and delivery systems and analyze any behavior change (in patients and/or providers) associated with the intervention. CER-based entails the applicant describing and justifying the existing comparative evidence that is the focus of the adoption intervention. Organizations applying for these funds will need to utilize existing or create new measurement systems to track adoption or adherence rates (thus measuring clinician and patient behavior changes) associated with the adoption of CER and measurement of health outcomes if possible. Applicants should also seek to understand the underlying factors associated with adoption. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R18 grant mechanism Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. $300,000 to $3,000,000 per award; 5-10 awards
