http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=285998

Description:
Eligible applicants include domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit organizations. Eligible organizations may include State, local, and Indian tribal governments; institutions of higher education; other non-profit organizations (including faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations); and hospitals. Eligible applicants must be national in scope and have well- established relationships with each of the following constituencies: rural clinical service networks; frontier residents; rural hospitals and community health systems; rural medical and health care provider educators; rural health clinics; State Rural Health Associations (SRHA) and State Offices of Rural Health (SORHs). You must have experience identifying emerging rural health care policy issues and promptly providing feedback to office inquiries regarding those issues.  Eligible applicants must demonstrate experience conducting policy research in the areas of access to health care services, Medicare and Medicaid policies, and development of rural delivery systems and public health. You should also have the capacity to quickly synthesize and disseminate policy analysis that informs policy makers of the needs of rural health care delivery systems in the design and implementation of health care policy.  Finally, you must demonstrate past experience in, and the ability to communicate results and implications of national health policy analyses for rural health services and delivery to a variety of audiences in a number of settings, including meeting presentations and panel discussions.  Applications that fail to show such experience will not be considered.

Description:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to conduct innovative and feasible studies to test strategies to accelerate the adoption of guideline-based recommendations into clinical practice among populations with health disparities.  Applications that propose strategies with a focus on providers who care for clinical populations with excess burden of cardiovascular, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders, in concert with the health care delivery systems in which they practice, are strongly encouraged. Applications that test systems, infrastructures, and strategies to implement guideline-based care for NHLBI disorders in clinical care settings are also of high programmatic interest.

Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health

Additional Information:
http://www.scgcorp.com/tidirh2016/application.html

Description:
This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested in conducting D&I research. To be eligible, participants must NOT have current R18, R01, or R01-equivalent funding as a principal investigator for D&I research and may not have received such funding in the past 5 years. Note: Investigators who have received an R01 or equivalent are eligible, as long as the funding was not specifically for D&I research. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate experience with—or potential for—working effectively in transdisciplinary teams and who have strong partnerships with—or are embedded within—health care delivery, public health, or community-based networks. We seek a balance of both junior and senior investigators, with the overall goal of bringing new people into the field of D&I research. While we anticipate most participants will be early- to mid-career individuals, we will enroll a limited number of senior researchers who are making the switch to D&I research. 

Development of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource Center (U2C)

Additional Information:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-16-010.html

Description:
The objective of this FOA is to support the development of the Data Resource Center for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First), which consists of the following components: a web-based Data Resource Portal, a Data Coordination Center, and Administrative and Outreach Core.  The goal of the Data Resource Portal is to accelerate discovery of genetic etiology and shared biologic pathways within and across childhood cancers and structural birth defects by facilitating access to and querying of annotated genomic sequence and phenotypic data from cohorts of patients with these conditions.  The Data Resource Portal will serve as an indispensable research resource where genomic data can be aggregated, accessed, analyzed, and shared within and across the childhood cancer and birth defects research communities as well as the broader scientific community.  The Data Coordination Center will work with Kids First investigators and sequencing centers to facilitate data collection and harmonization.  The Administrative and Outreach Core will oversee administrative activities, work closely with a Steering Committee, and provide outreach and education to the research community on using the Data Resource Portal.

Description:
The purpose of the Rural Health Research Dissemination Program is to disseminate and market policy-oriented information for use by diverse audiences such as rural stakeholders at national, state, and community levels and policy decision-makers to inform and raise awareness of issues regarding policy implications, access, quality and status of health care delivery, services, and management on behalf of rural communities.

Rural Policy Analysis Program

Additional Information:
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=284897

Description:
The purpose of this program is to support research syntheses and analyses of specific rural health issues that affect rural communities.  Issue areas are expected to be of national interest, and may include cross-cutting rural health and human services dimensions.  Products, including reports and Policy Briefs, will support policy-makers, and policy development and implementation; each product will summarize an issue, related health policies, and identify implications and next steps relevant to rural stakeholders.
