Does this fit your business?

This is an NIH research grant for studies on how evidence-based health interventions get adopted, scaled, or dropped — not a business development or product grant. It fits healthcare and biotech organizations that can run a research study; retail, finance, and housing businesses with no health research angle should not bother. Clinical trials are not allowed, and the award amount is not published.

About this grant

In addition, studies to advance dissemination and implementation research methods and measures are encouraged. All applications must be within the scope of the mission of one of the Institutes/Centers listed above.
