Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)

Purpose: CDC is committed to achieving true improvements in people’s health and has defined specific Health Protection Goals to prioritize and focus its work and investments and to measure progress. The purpose of this RFA is the achievement of new scientific knowledge that can accelerate the translation of research findings into public health practice through implementation, dissemination, and diffusion research.

The specific objective of the RFA is to conduct translation research using an evidence-based intervention or policy. Proposed research should identify: 1) impediments and/or facilitators to the successful translation of evidence-based public health intervention(s); 2) methodological tools for the successful translation of evidence-based programs, practices, or policies; that retain fidelity, and achieve positive outcomes for target populations; or 3) optimal strategies to enhance the widespread adoption and institutionalization of effective public health intervention programs.
