Opportunity Summary:
The Research Dissemination and Implementation Grants (R18) opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number PAR 10-114, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program aimed at closing the gap between what research shows can work and what actually gets used in everyday practice. The central focus is dissemination and implementation research for heart, lung, and blood diseases, as well as sleep disorders. In practical terms, the FOA is designed for projects that move beyond proving an intervention works under ideal conditions and instead concentrate on how to get proven treatments and prevention strategies adopted, delivered well, and maintained over time in real-world environments such as clinics, health systems, communities, schools, worksites, or other service settings.
The FOA lays out three connected goals. First, it supports the development of innovative approaches for translating evidence-based treatments and effective prevention modalities into routine practice. This can include designing new delivery models, implementation strategies, training approaches, workflow supports, or community partnership models that make it more likely that an effective intervention will actually be used. Second, it supports testing these approaches in real-world settings, with an emphasis on outcomes that matter for implementation: effectiveness in typical conditions, sustainability over time, determinants of success or failure (for example, organizational barriers, staffing constraints, patient engagement challenges, reimbursement issues, leadership support, or local policy factors), and cost-effectiveness. Third, it supports examining how well interventions perform as they are disseminated and implemented in real-world conditions, specifically looking at whether the resulting uptake and delivery reduces risk factors and improves prevention and treatment outcomes for the targeted heart, lung, blood, and sleep-related conditions.
Funding is provided through the NIH Research Demonstration and Dissemination Project mechanism (R18), which is commonly used for applied research and demonstration projects that test strategies for broad adoption and real-world impact. Awards under this FOA are not guaranteed; they depend on the availability of funds and whether NIH receives enough high-quality, meritorious applications. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of award.
The scope of the opportunity is reflected in the associated CFDA numbers, which align with the program areas involved: 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research), 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), and 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research). That mix signals that NIH is looking for implementation-focused studies across a broad range of conditions and prevention/treatment contexts, as long as the proposed work clearly addresses dissemination and implementation questions and is tied to interventions with an evidence base.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that might be positioned to run real-world implementation studies. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (including those outside higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The FOA also explicitly names additional eligible categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Taken together, this eligibility list reinforces that NIH is open to partnerships and applied settings where dissemination and implementation research can be meaningfully tested.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted February 24, 2010, and later archived (archive date January 16, 2012). The record shows an original closing date of May 7, 2013, but also a current closing date of December 16, 2011, along with a creation date of December 16, 2011, which suggests the listing may reflect an updated or archived record rather than an actively open competition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Research Dissemination and Implementation Grants (R18) opportunity (PAR 10-114)?
PAR 10-114 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity that supports dissemination and implementation research. The purpose is to close the gap between what research shows can work and what actually gets adopted, delivered well, and maintained over time in everyday practice.
What is the central focus of this funding opportunity?
The central focus is dissemination and implementation research related to heart, lung, and blood diseases, as well as sleep disorders. Projects are expected to emphasize real-world uptake and sustained delivery of evidence-based interventions rather than testing efficacy under ideal conditions.
What kinds of settings are considered "real-world" for this FOA?
The FOA highlights practical environments where services are delivered, including clinics, health systems, communities, schools, worksites, and other service settings where proven interventions must be implemented under typical conditions.
How is this opportunity different from studies that only prove an intervention works?
This FOA is designed for projects that move beyond demonstrating effectiveness under controlled or ideal conditions. Instead, it focuses on how to get proven treatments and prevention strategies adopted, implemented with quality, and sustained in routine practice.
What are the three main goals described in the FOA?
The FOA describes three connected goals: (1) develop innovative approaches for translating evidence-based treatments and effective prevention modalities into routine practice; (2) test those approaches in real-world settings using implementation-relevant outcomes; and (3) examine how interventions perform when disseminated and implemented in real-world conditions, including whether uptake improves risk factors and prevention/treatment outcomes.
What does "dissemination and implementation research" mean in the context of this FOA?
In this FOA, dissemination and implementation research refers to studying strategies and processes that increase the adoption, quality of delivery, and long-term maintenance of evidence-based interventions in routine practice settings, including understanding what helps or hinders success.
What types of projects might fit under Goal 1 (developing innovative approaches)?
Examples described in the FOA include creating new delivery models, implementation strategies, training approaches, workflow supports, or community partnership models that improve the likelihood that an evidence-based intervention is used in routine practice.
What outcomes are emphasized when testing approaches in real-world settings?
The FOA emphasizes outcomes that matter for implementation, including effectiveness under typical conditions, sustainability over time, determinants of success or failure (such as organizational barriers and local policy factors), and cost-effectiveness.
What kinds of "determinants" of success or failure does the FOA mention?
The FOA provides examples of determinants such as organizational barriers, staffing constraints, patient engagement challenges, reimbursement issues, leadership support, and local policy factors.
Does this FOA support cost or cost-effectiveness analysis?
Yes. The FOA specifically lists cost-effectiveness among the implementation-relevant outcomes of interest when testing approaches in real-world settings.
What health areas and conditions does this opportunity cover?
The FOA targets dissemination and implementation research for heart, lung, and blood diseases, along with sleep disorders, and it expects proposals to be tied to interventions with an evidence base in those areas.
Which funding mechanism is used for awards under this FOA?
Funding is provided through the NIH Research Demonstration and Dissemination Project mechanism (R18), which is commonly used for applied research and demonstration projects intended to test strategies for broad adoption and real-world impact.
Are awards guaranteed if an organization applies?
No. The FOA notes that awards are not guaranteed and depend on the availability of funds and whether NIH receives enough high-quality, meritorious applications.
