D&I Add-on Funding
The Center for Dissemination & Implementation and the Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control offer two mechanisms for add-on funding in the field of Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) research: Rapid Cycle Add-on (RADD) and Methods & Measurements Add-on (MMADD).
Rapid Cycle Add-on (RADD)
RADD grants fund up to $20,000 in direct costs. Applicants must be Faculty Scholars of the Institute for Public Health. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
In the rapidly growing field of Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) research, many investigators working in earlier stages of translation research may develop an awareness of untapped opportunities to deepen the conceptualization of D&I strategies and/or measurement of D&I outcomes during the course of existing research. Similarly, researchers working on implementation problems, may be exposed to novel or different D&I considerations driven by interaction with new frameworks or reformulation of the research objectives during the course of the study. In either case, the ability to rapidly add a previously unplanned set of measurements or pilot data collection could quickly augment significantly the value of the existing project.
Offered by the Center for Dissemination and Implementation and the Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control, the RADD funding mechanism seeks to enable investigators to rapidly “add-on” measurements or pilot data collection to an existing observational or experimental research study to better understand an aspect of D&I.
To apply, submit your application materials to dandi@wustl.edu. Responses will generally be sent within a week.
Methods & Measurements Add-on (MMADD)
MMADD grants fund up to $30,000 in direct costs. Applicants must be Faculty Scholars of the Institute for Public Health. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
The field of dissemination and implementation (D&I) is rapidly evolving. Continuing to expand its rigor and relevance requires advancing its concepts, methods, strategies, and measurements. We can push the boundaries of the D&I field into new territories through dedicated research that deepens the conceptualization of problems/questions in D&I, refining methodologic approaches to issues, or developing novel measurements for D&I science.
The MMADD mechanism, offered by the Center for Dissemination and Implementation and the Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control, seeks to support investigators that are endeavoring to advance methodological concepts and metascience in D&I research. Investigators interested in applying may present themselves as part of existing and ongoing research projects, developing research proposals, or working on stand-alone projects.
