New Funding Opportunity for NIA IMPACT Collaboratory Demonstration Project Grants
The NIA IMPACT Collaboratory has released a Request for Applications (RFA) for Demonstration Project Grants. Letters of Intent are required and due no later than October 29, 2021.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory will fund Demonstration Projects designed as full-scale, Stage IV effectiveness embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCT) (based on the NIH Stage Model) that test, measure and evaluate the effect of a care delivery intervention program in a health care system for people living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) and their care partners.
The intervention will typically encompass relatively simple system changes or direct patient outreach, or successfully piloted programs ready for testing at scale. Demonstration Projects will allow health care systems and investigators to gain real-world experience integrating pragmatic non-pharmacologic interventions into usual clinical workflow and health care delivery practices in a controlled manner that provides clear information on the impact of the intervention program. It is anticipated that Demonstration Projects will be funded for up to $500,000 in direct costs for a maximum of 24-months.
