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

These pipeline-to-pilot awards 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.

Funding Amount
