Implementation Science Scholar Award

This funding opportunity is not currently active. Please see our other funding opportunities for current options. 

The CFAR Implementation Science Scholar Award is a grant targeted toward mentoring and training junior investigators at a senior stage of clinical or postdoctoral training or recently independent at UCSF or affiliated partner institutes to conduct independent implementation science research, allowing them to acquire preliminary data and findings leading toward a future grant effort. These awards should use perspectives and methods from implementation science to address a gap in HIV prevention or treatment. For the purposes of this mechanism, we used the NIH definition of dissemination and implementation research (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-055.html). Broadly speaking, this includes research to quantify, understand and close the gap between evidence and practice. Use of implementation science frameworks was encouraged. A research team or proposal that contained evidence of different disciplinary perspectives or mixed methods was encouraged.

    Understanding the Hypertension screening gap in Uganda's HIV primary care setting

    Abstract

    Hypertension is the one of the major modifiable non-communicable comorbidities even amongst HIV-infected adults in routine primary care. Since hypertension is asymptomatic, screening with blood pressure measurement during routine visits may afford the only opportunity to find those affected early. Early disease (with uncomplicated hypertension) intervention is attractive since it would be less costly and would stem the development of the difficult and expensive to treat end-organ complications.

    Abstract

    There will be an expected 30 million people on ART worldwide by 2020 and developing strategies to promoted sustained retention and engagement in HIV care is urgently needed. Furthering our understanding of delivering patient-centered care—well-established in more developed settings—in the public setting of HIV care in sub-Saharan Africa holds significant promise to improve overall care delivery for millions of HIV-infected individuals.
