Prioritizing Evidence-based Interventions for Dissemination and Implementation Investments: AHRQ's Model and Experience.

"J.L.B. was employed at AHRQ where this work was performed, through October 2018. She has subsequently moved to a position with DC Health (public health department of District of Columbia). The remaining authors declare no conflict of interest."

"Funding Decisions Of the 4 nominations that met feasibility criteria, 1 is still under review. Three fit AHRQ’s mission and mandate were deemed appropriate for funding in 2019 (Fig. ). Two of these 3 were closely related topics and were combined into a single funding announcement: screening and brief intervention for adults with risky drinking, and medication-assisted treatment for those with alcohol use disorder. The Request for Funding Announcement (RFA-HS-18-002) required investigators to propose a multicomponent intervention to increase the uptake of screening and management of unhealthy alcohol use in primary care. The third nomination resulted in a funded contract to support scale-up and spread of an evidence-based implementation strategy to increase referral, enrollment, and retention in cardiac rehabilitation after eligible cardiac events.– No support was received from the following organizations: National Institutes of Health (NIH); Wellcome Trust; Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)."
