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. In response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) outbreak, in this award cycle, the IMPACT Collaboratory prioritized applications proposing pilot ePCTs of telemedicine, telehealth, and remote technologies interventions aimed at improving the health care, unmet needs, quality of life, and/or health outcomes for people living with AD/ADRD and their care partners. The IMPACT Collaboratory encourages applications that address dementia care for people of all backgrounds and promote health equity.
