Finding Answers: Disparities Research for Change, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), is requesting proposals to evaluate interventions with the potential to reduce racial and ethnic health care disparities in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, depression or diabetes. RWJF will make up to 5 awards of up to $400,000
We are specifically looking for innovative interventions that are likely to be replicable and sustainable, and aim to disseminate promising practices to health care organizations nationwide with a focus on dissemination efforts within the 15 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Aligning Forces for Quality communities.
The intervention must be implemented and evaluated in at least three distinct sites to allow assessment of replicability. We are interested in how generalizable the interventions are as well as how they might need to be tailored for different settings to be most effective. Our goal is to study intervention implementation in sites that, when compared to each other, provide unique administrative structures, target populations, geographic regions or patient care systems.
Projects may not exceed 36 months, including start-up, data collection and analyses. At least 75 percent of the award monies must be used for costs associated with evaluating the intervention. Up to 25 percent of the award monies may be used for intervention costs (implementation and maintenance), if necessary.
Please carefully read the CFP for all eligibility criteria, selection criteria and proposal submission instructions. Please note:
-
Brief proposals are due February 4, 2010.
-
Two applicant Web conferences will be held (January 6th and 8th) to allow potential applicants to ask questions about the CFP.
For more details about the CFP and upcoming Web conferences, visit the Finding Answers Web site at www.SolvingDisparities.org.
Please distribute this CFP to others with potential interest in the program.
