Research grants on improving the use of research evidence support studies that reveal the strategies, mechanisms, or conditions for improving research use. In this webinar from December 2024, Program Officer Anupreet Sidhu and Senior Vice President Kim DuMont discuss the background and goals of the program and provide an overview of eligibility details, required materials, and review criteria.
In this program, we encourage evaluations of deliberate efforts to increase routine and beneficial uses of research in decision-making and testing whether strategies that improve the use of research evidence in turn improve decision-making and youth outcomes. We are also interested in measurement studies to develop the tools necessary to capture changes in the nature and degree of research use. Finally, we welcome critical perspectives that inform studies’ research questions, methods, and interpretation of findings.
