Research Grants Core
Core Activities
The Research Grants Core administers and manages a portfolio of research grants including the Pilot Projects Program, the Demonstration Projects Program and the Project Planning Grants Program to advance the testing of non-pharmacologic dementia care interventions within health care systems. The Core solicits, funds, and provides methodologic guidance to grant awardees throughout the duration of their projects..
Core members provide mentorship, consultation, and resources to IMPACT-funded investigators to ensure rigorous and timely conduct of funded studies. They also promote investigators’ expertise by integrating them into IMPACT Collaboratory activities and assisting awardees in moving completed project ePCTs to the next scientific stage of the NIH stage model.
