Creating a safer, more compassionate world for the people who do this work helps lay a foundation for lasting change and a world where every survivor’s healing is prioritized.

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) intends to release an Implementation of Findings From PCORI's Research Investments PCORI Funding Announcement (PFA) on Aug. 4, 2026, seeking to fund implementation projects that promote the uptake of peer-reviewed findings from specific PCORI-funded patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) in the context of the body of related evidence. This PFA is an open competition opportunity for principal investigators to propose implementation projects that move evidence toward practical use in improving health care and health outcomes. Applicants may propose projects with budgets up to $1.8 million in total direct costs.

PCORI seeks to fund implementation projects that incorporate active, multicomponent strategies that will lead to uptake and integration of evidence generated by PCORI-funded research in practice settings. Implementation should target specific end users with a clear interest in — and ability to benefit from — the evidence. Proposed implementation projects will adapt findings as needed to facilitate uptake in the proposed settings and accomplish scale-up to reach larger numbers and/or scale-out to reach broader populations and settings. Applicants must demonstrate commitment and buy-in — including from leadership as well as frontline staff critical to the success of the project — from proposed implementation sites across multiple health systems, such that they provide a supportive context and infrastructure for undertaking the proposed project. In addition, projects should involve regional and national stakeholder organizations positioned to extend uptake in broader venues.  

Applications must be guided by an established conceptual model or framework and, where possible, by evidence regarding effective strategies for implementing evidence-based practices and interventions. Additionally, applications must include a rigorous evaluation plan that documents the successful execution of the implementation approach and the impact of the project on health care and health outcomes as feasible and appropriate within the project scope.

Behavioral Health Promotion Community Grants 

Funding Opportunity

North Dakota Health and Human Services (ND HHS) is seeking creative evidence-based behavioral health promotion proposals with a focus on promoting mental health, preventing suicide and/or preventing substance use/misuse.

Research over the last two decades has shown mental illness and substance use disorders are both preventable and treatable. Promotion and prevention efforts are a critical component of the behavioral health system and are most effective when stakeholders and community members work together to take action – emphasizing collaboration and community mobilization.

Chicago Foundation for Women

Chicago Foundation for Women (CFW) invests in bold ideas, grassroots leadership, and local organizations dismantling barriers for women, girls, and gender-expansive people. Since 1985, CFW has invested over $55 million through more than 5,500 grants to organizations across the Chicago region, focusing on economic security and mobility, reproductive justice, freedom from violence, and access to health and wellness.

We envision a future where equity transforms lives and systems, creating a world where safety is certain, dignity is honored, and choice is guaranteed.

Our Impact Areas:

• Expanding Economic Security​ and Mobility
  • We seek to expand economic security so all women, girls, and gender-expansive people can care for themselves and their families in all stages of life.
• Advancing Reproductive Justice 
  • We champion reproductive freedom and fund local efforts that protect care, expand access, and defend the right to make decisions about one’s body.
• Advancing Freedom from Violence 
  • We work to ensure women, girls, and gender-expansive people are free from violence, including abuse, assault, harassment, trafficking, and more.
• Improving Access to Health and Wellness 
  • We work to expand access to quality mental, physical, preventive, and reproductive health services for women, girls, and gender-expansive people.

CFW: Fall Primary Cycle

We view these impact areas as inherently interconnected and requiring a holistic approach; our work is also situated within broader systemic issues of gender, race, and economic inequities. Women and their families experience disparities simultaneously and often need to address them all at once for them to be able to stabilize and advance their health, safety, and economic security. As a result, we will be accepting applications across all four of CFW’s impact areas and encourage applicants to talk holistically about their work.

CFW believes it is essential to invest in both organizations providing direct service and organizations advancing systems change strategies; both are required and interconnected to dismantle barriers for women, girls, and gender-expansive people so that equity is possible and permanent.
