Limited Competition: Practice-Based Research to Improve Self-Management Support (PRISMS) (R18)

archived

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications that would evaluate the effectiveness of strategies to disseminate and implement a library/toolkit of multi-media self-management support (SMS) resources. The SMS library/toolkit was developed by AHRQ to help primary care team members learn about SMS and develop their self-management support skills in working with chronically ill patients. Although many efforts have focused on developing tools and resources to support patients in their self-care activities, this FOA solicits applications that will improve the capacity and ability of those who work in primary care practices to provide effective SMS by disseminating and implementing the resources in the SMS library. Successful applicants must incorporate SMS tools and resources from the AHRQ SMS Resource Library into their research plan (see http://www.orau.gov/ahrq/sms_home.html).
