Specifically, ver the next 5 years, ICTR aims t develp targeted implementatin supprt fr high-demand research thrugh ICTR s D&I Launchpad Prgram. In supprt f this aim, the purpse f this award is t expedite the transfer r cmmercializatin f evidence-based practices, interventins, and innvatins t apprpriate end-users. Definitins: Disseminatin is the targeted distributin f infrmatin and interventin materials t a specific audience. The intent is t spread knwledge regarding an assciated evidencebased interventin Implementatin is the use f strategies t adpt and integrate evidence-based health interventins, and change practice patterns within specific settings ICTR-CAP D&I Launchpad Prgram: is a cnsultatin service that prvides resurces t bridge the gap between research and practice. Services include faculty mentring, educatin and training, research cnsulting, cmmunicatins supprt, and implementatin supprt. Additinal infrmatin abut the D&I Launchpad Prgram can be fund in Appendix A f this RFA and at This award supprts the creatin f a Launchpad Package t supprt the disseminatin and implementatin f the evidence-based interventin r innvatin.
