## What the grant funds

The intent of the FY24 RTRP Qualitative Research Validation and Implementation Award mechanism is to support the continued investigation and further expansion of highly impactful resources for the VCA community that were developed through RTRP-funded qualitative research studies. These resources may benefit individuals throughout the VCA community, including those who are considering or who have already received reconstructive transplant surgery, as well as caregivers, potential donors and their families, and clinicians. The RTRP recognizes that these resources are not yet deployable products and require further research to ready them for clinical and community use. Proposed studies should expand previously funded qualitative research for the purposes of validating a VCA resource and/or investigating the most appropriate and effective methods and best practices for disseminating and/or implementing the resource. Important Note: This award mechanism is intended to support validation and implementation research, but not the costs of implementation itself. Qualitative research is a form of social inquiry that focuses on understanding how people interpret and make sense of their experiences and the world in which they live. Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from basic discovery, population-based studies, a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Qualitative research is intended to be exploratory, open-ended, and unbiased. The information gathered should be meaningful and culturally appropriate to the participant, unanticipated (not hypothesis-based) by the research team, and rich and explanatory in nature. Implementation science is defined as the scientific study of methods and strategies to adopt and integrate evidence-based health interventions, resources, etc., into clinical and community settings in order to improve patient outcomes and benefit population health. Implementation research may use a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods to determine the most appropriate and effective way to transition interventions, resources, etc., into clinical practice, health policy, or everyday use. The research should be specific to the target population and environment and consider real-world factors and complexities, including an evolving landscape. Important aspects of this award mechanism include: • Qualitative Approach: The research approach should include primarily qualitative methods.
