This NIH funding opportunity (PAR-25-233) supports small research grants (R03) focused on dissemination and implementation (D&I) research in health. The mechanism funds studies examining how evidence-based interventions, practices, and policies can be effectively spread and adopted into real-world health settings. Clinical trials are explicitly excluded from this announcement. The opportunity has a multi-year window running from late 2024 through early 2028, allowing multiple submission cycles.

Risks & flags

  • No dollar values or budget caps disclosed in the provided text — applicants should consult full FOA for R03 budget limits (typically $50,000 direct costs/year, 2 years)
  • Multi-year open window (2024–2028) with rolling submissions is standard for NIH program announcements but means competition is ongoing and unpredictable
