The current state of funded NIH grants in implementation science in genomic medicine: a portfolio analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Implementation science offers methods to evaluate the translation of genomic medicine research into practice. The extent to which the National Institutes of Health (NIH) human genomics grant portfolio includes implementation science is unknown. This brief report's objective is to describe recently funded implementation science studies in genomic medicine in the NIH grant portfolio, and identify remaining gaps.

Methods

We identified investigator-initiated NIH research grants on implementation science in genomic medicine (funding initiated 2012-2016). A codebook was adapted from the literature, three authors coded grants, and descriptive statistics were calculated for each code.

Results

Forty-two grants fit the inclusion criteria (~1.75% of investigator-initiate
