AASM Dissemination and Implementation Research

American Academy of Sleep Medicine(AASM)

It’s well-known that there is a significant lag time for biomedical research to reach clinical practice, all while there is rapid development of therapies for sleep and circadian disorders that are not reaching the hands of patients.1 Dissemination and implementation research can help reduce this gap and increase the uptake of evidence-based research findings into real-world practice settings in order to provide optimal, patient-centered, cost-effective diagnosis and care for people with sleep disorders, which is the goal of the Strategic Research Grant.

Dissemination and implementation are defined as:

Dissemination is the intentional, active process of identifying target audiences and tailoring communication strategies to increase awareness and understanding of evidence, and to motivate its use in policy, practice, and individual choices.
Implementation is the deliberate, iterative process of integrating evidence into policy and practice through adapting evidence to different contexts and facilitating behavior change and decision making based on evidence across individuals, communities, and healthcare systems.2

The AASM Foundation will support dissemination and implementation sleep research through the Strategic Research Grant focused on these research domains:

Dissemination and Implementation of AASM Clinical Guidance Documents

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) publishes various guidance documents, such as clinical practice guidelines, clinical guidance statements, position statements, consensus statements and papers, and quality measures. Projects must focus on understanding whether this guidance is followed, identifying barriers to adoption, and evaluating strategies that increase the dissemination, accessibility, and uptake of the AASM’s guidance and recommendations among targeted end-users, such as clinicians, patients, caregivers, policymakers, and other healthcare stakeholders.

Dissemination and Implementation of Research Findings from AASM Foundation-Funded Research Projects

The AASM Foundation is committed to moving evidence generated from AASM Foundation-funded projects into practice to improve the diagnosis and care for people with sleep disorders. Projects must focus on strategies that facilitate the uptake of AASM Foundation-funded research project findings in real-world practice settings and relevant populations. Applications can be submitted by the original AASM Foundation-funded research project investigator or by an individual investigator with support from the original investigator whose findings are being disseminated or implemented in the project proposal.

Funding Information

The Strategic Research Grant program is organized into three categories to allow flexibility and a range of funding opportunities to potential applicants:

Category I is for those applicants seeking funding for projects up to $250,000 and covers a project period of up to three years.
Category II is for those applicants seeking funding for projects up to $100,000 and covers a project period of up to two years.
Category III is for those applicants seeking funding for projects up to $50,000 and covers a project period of up to one year.

There are no restrictions on the distribution of expenses, however, indirect costs are capped at 8%. The grant is executed as a contract between the AASM Foundation and the grantee’s institution. A sample contract is available here.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Research Gaps, AASM Strategic Plan Goals, Dissemination and Implementation Research and Sleep Health Disparities Research: Open to all three funding categories, with indirect costs capped at 8%

Supported by AASM Foundation general funds.

Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence Research: Open only to Category III proposals, with indirect costs capped at 8%

Supported by the Hypersomnia Foundation and AASM Foundation general funds.
