Translating Research into Practice - Joint Program Announcement: This Translating Research into Practice (TRIP) Program Announcement (PA) is a collaborative effort between the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Health Services Research and Development Service (HSR and D) within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Applicants are invited to conduct innovative and rigorous research and evaluation projects related to the translation of research findings into measurable improvements in quality, patient safety, health care outcomes and cost, use, and access. An explicit focus on testing effective strategies for translating research into practice has been a priority for the PA sponsors for the past several years. While there are promising initiatives and projects in progress, this PA underscores the need for research that can bridge the chasm between promising prototypes (e.g., approaches for treating a specific disease in a particular setting or work system changes that improve quality or efficiency in a particular setting) and generalizable knowledge that can be used in multiple settings and lead to systematic improvement on a large scale. For the purpose of this PA, research findings may be translated into evidence-based clinical or organizational, structural, and system interventions that then can be assessed for their ability to measure change in or improve access to health care, patient safety, the quality and/or cost-effectiveness of health care delivery, and health care outcomes.
