What the grant funds
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will fund up to three grants to entities who have significant expertise in implementation research in the health and/or social sciences; and demonstrated experience conducting research with the Aging Network and/or Community Care Hubs. All applicants must ensure delivery partners implement at least one evidence-based multifactorial falls prevention program across delivery partners, capturing core outcome measures across participants and organizations. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) plays an important role in making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services, which often impacts insurance coverage for these services. Highly recommended (A and B grade) services, those with high or moderate net benefit, are typically covered by federal and private insurers without copay or cost-sharing. Grade C recommendations are made by the USPSTF when the net benefit is found to be small. The USPSTF found existing evidence indicates that the overall net benefit of routinely offering multifactorial interventions to prevent falls is small. This grant opportunity intends to fund implementation research that brings to scale and evaluates the impact of evidence-based multifactorial falls prevention programs on falls among older adults through a collaborative approach inclusive of the Aging Network and collaborative partners, experts in falls prevention research, and experts in implementation science and research. .
