What the grant funds

This NOFO aims to develop health care system (e.g, neurology/epilepsy center clinics) capacity to deliver evidence-based epilepsy self-management supports (e.g., evidence-based epilepsy self-management programs) through health care settings. The NOFO includes an additional component for the delivery of expert technical assistance and training in health care system change, chronic care collaboratives, and/or clinical quality improvement to enhance outcomes. About 3.4 million people in the U.S. have active epilepsy.(1) Compared with adults without epilepsy, adults with active epilepsy report more comorbidity, worse psychological health, more cognitive impairment, limitations in social activities, and worse health-related quality of life.(2,3) At least 56% of them have had at least one seizure in the past year, indicating suboptimal seizure control.(4) Self-management (e.g., what individuals and families do on a daily basis to feel better and pursue the life they desire) and self-management support (e.g., actions taken by others to support individual self-management), are critical strategies aligned with CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion priorities aimed at ensuring that “communities support and clinics refer patients to programs that improve management of chronic conditions.”(5,6) As one type of self-management support, epilepsy self-management programs have been shown to be effective in improving select health and quality of life outcomes, including reduced seizure frequency, but these programs remain underutilized in community and clinical settings.(7-10) Integrating delivery of evidence-based epilepsy self-management supports in health care settings may reduce barriers to widespread program adoption.(11) This NOFO supplements previous CDC funding opportunity announcements DP16-1602 and DP21-2101 aimed at building social service agency capacity for delivering self-management supports through community-based organizations.(9) To address gaps in effectively reaching people with epilepsy with self-management supports, this NOFO is designed to build health care system capacity to deliver evidence-based self-management supports (e.g., evidence-based epilepsy self-management programs) through health care settings (e.g., epilepsy center clinics).
