OpportunityTitle: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Practice and Implementation Centers - High-Impact Projects for Practice and Systems Change
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: In the initial FOA, DD14-1402, eligibility was open and six university-based partners were awarded. The FOA stated that in Years 2 and beyond, awardees would implement the plan for comprehensive evaluation developed in Year 1 and work with CDC and other appropriate contract staff to identify, propose, and design the evaluation of high impact projects/trainings that lend themselves to informing practice change. It further stated that during Years 3 and 4, based on availability of additional funding, grantees would complete enhanced activities such as practice enhancement, translating effective interventions into practice, or focused evaluations of promising practices. For these reasons, eligibility is limited to the six awardees of DD14-1402 which are (1) Baylor College of Medicine, (2) University of Alaska Anchorage, (3) University of California, San Diego, (4) University of Missouri, (5) University of Nevada, Reno, and (6) University of Wisconsin. The eligible applicants are uniquely qualified to perform the programmatic activities because the proposed activities build upon the awardees&apos; activities of Years 1 and 2. The awardees have been working with CDC and partners to plan and implement efforts that will lead to practice and systems change. This supplemental funding would allow them to build upon activities that are part of their core funding but that they would not be able to fully implement or evaluate without this funding.
Description: This is competitive supplemental funding for 3-6 awardees of DD14-1402 (FASD Practice and Implementation Centers) to complete enhanced activities such as practice enhancement, translating effective interventions into practice, or focused evaluations of promising practices, as stated in the original FOA. Applicants will be required to identify a system with which they will work to influence two or more of the six disciplines awardees have been targeting (nurses, social workers, medical assistants, obstetrician-gynecologists, family medicine practitioners, and pediatricians) in creating practice and systems change through high-impact projects. Awardees can link proposed supplemental activities to those under their core funding. However, supplemental awards will be focused on activities which would not be able to be fully implemented or evaluated without this supplemental funding. Applicants will be required to submit proposals that fall under one of three categories - (1) enhancing practice guidelines, (2) creating healthcare system-level improvements, or (3) creating policy-level change.
