About the IMPACT Pilot Grant Program
The IMPACT Collaboratory funds several one-year pilot studies annually, which are meant to generate the preliminary data necessary to design and conduct future full-scale, stage 4 effectiveness ePCTs funded through other grant mechanisms. Awards are for single Principal Investigator applications for one year and are non-renewable.
Current and Upcoming IMPACT Funding Opportunities
Applications for Pilot Grant Cycle 3B opened August 16, 2021. The application process is a 2-step competitive process. The first step, a required LOI, was due September 17, 2021. Selected investigators were invited to submit a full application due January 14, 2022. Request for applications for Cycle 4A anticipated in early February 2022.
Requests for applications will open for two IMPACT funding programs on January 10, 2022.
Career Development Award Program
The Career Development Award Program supports the development of early-stage investigators building careers in the design and conduct of ePCTs for people living with AD/ADRD and their care partners.
The Health Care Systems Embedded Research Scholars Program offers investigators an opportunity to work directly with health care systems interested in improving care provided to people living with AD/ADRD and their care partners. The goal of the HCS Scholars Program is to embed investigators in health care systems to strengthen collaborations and learn how to successfully implement new programs that may lead to pilot studies or demonstration projects.
