Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Practice and Implementation Centers - High-Impact Projects for Practice and Systems Change

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.
