State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 09/27/2024
Size of the Grant: $100,000 to $500,000
Grant Duration: 2 Years
Details:
The Zadroga Act lists three broad research areas:
- Physical and mental health conditions that may be related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks;
- Diagnosing WTC-related health conditions for which there has been diagnostic uncertainty; and
- Treating WTC-related health conditions for which there has been treatment uncertainty.
The WTC Health Program seeks to achieve a suitable mix of scientifically robust research projects which assess the feasibility of enhancing interventions and program evaluations to improve diagnosis, treatment, care, and well-being of 9/11-exposed populations.
Research areas of interest include clinical, screening, diagnostic, epidemiological, treatment, prevention, translation, and program evaluation. WTC responders, screening-eligible WTC survivors, and certified-eligible WTC survivors comprise the populations of interest.
Major areas of research interest
- Health Services Research
- Projects that examine how people get access to health care and care management services, how much care costs, and what happens to patients as a result of this care. Research projects in this area have the potential to identify improved methods/procedures to organize, manage, finance, and deliver health care.
- Implementation Research
- Projects that study the processes whereby WTC Health Program research outputs are disseminated, adopted, implemented, sustained, and scaled up equitably in real-world settings for affected populations.
- Screening Research
- Projects that evaluate current, or facilitate the development of, new/improved, methods to detect certain disorders or health conditions. Diagnostic Research: Projects that evaluate current, or facilitate the development of, new/improved, methods to identify diseases, disorders, or conditions.
- Treatment Research
- Projects that evaluate/identify improved treatment interventions/methods (e.g., medication, psychotherapy, dietary/nutritional, care management and coordination etc.) or promote the development of new or novel treatment approaches, e.g., telemedicine. Prevention Research: Projects that identify/evaluate new methods and interventions (e.g., medicine(s), psychotherapy, vaccines, nutrition, or lifestyle changes) that prevent or mitigate the development or reoccurrence of various diseases/disorders.
