Equity-Focused Dissemination and Implementation Pipeline-to-Pilot Award

These awards aim to stimulate early phase research and/or planning activities that incorporate elements of health equity-focused dissemination and implementation science (EQ-DI). EQ-DI is the science and practice of effective translation, distribution, and use of evidence-based interventions and policies in real-world settings, with an explicit focus on addressing health inequities.

The grant will provide up to $10,000 for a research planning project to be conducted over six months from October 15, 2023 to May 31, 2024. The supported planning activities are expected to help provide a solid foundation for a subsequent health equity focused dissemination and implementation grant application.
