Implementation Readiness Fund

For over a decade, Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) has dedicated itself to improving the lives of children and families living with neurodevelopmental disabilities by funding innovative research leading to new approaches to aid in early identification, evidence-based interventions and enhanced support for families. The Network’s focus on moving research outputs into practice includes a plan for funding for new initiatives to create a pipeline of projects that have demonstrated research excellence and have the potential to achieve readiness for implementation in the near-term.

In this regard, KBHN is delighted to announce five new awards made under the Implementation Readiness Fund (IRF) competition with a combined total of nearly $500,000 in direct support. Each of the funded projects is backed by a solid evidence-based for the respective interventions/practice changes. It’s anticipated that the IRF support will allow the projects to complete the final stages of research to achieve implementation readiness.
