Building System Capacity for Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention (R34)

archived

Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, provides resources to facilitate research on the adoption, implementation, and sustainability of evidence-based clinical treatment practices, prevention approaches, and business practices in community-based service delivery settings. It is intended to foster collaboration between service providers and entities that directly influence their capacity to deliver such practices, including Single State Agencies, other funders, licensing and regulatory bodies, referral sources, educational entities, and other social services agencies that interact with the treatment and prevention systems. Applications are encouraged that will advance the field of implementation science while simultaneously building the capacity of systems and service providers to conduct process improvement research. Applicants may propose to pilot test proven clinical or business practices across service delivery settings, or to study the downstream effect of changes in State or other system-level policies on program capacity to implement evidence-based practices. This FOA encourages collection of preliminary data needed to inform approaches to the eventual scaling-up of selected practices to broader, sustained implementation. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R34 grant mechanism.
