Tailoring Interventions to Improve Preventive Health Service Use (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)

archived

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites R61/12/R33 applications to develop interventions for physician compliance with recommended prevention guidelines for the elderly from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF). Specifically, applicants will develop electronic health record (EHR)-based interventions to improve the quality of care and health outcomes, and reduce health disparities. This FOA will support an R261 pilot phase, which will allow researchers to use data analytics tools, including machine learning approaches, to establish the feasibility of identifying groups of patients not receiving recommended preventive care, and then create scalable, tailored interventions for these groups to help overcome barriers to uptake. If successful, researchers may transition to an R33 phase for implementation of pragmatic trials. All applicants are required to address health disparities.
