TDR expresses sincere gratitude to
members of the Steering Committee and to external reviewers for their
critical assessment and contributions to the selection process.
TDR would also like to thank those investigators who were not funded. A
large number of projects were reviewed but only a few selected due to
the highly competitive selection process.
Detailed information on funding and how to apply for support from the
Committee on Implementation Research (IR) can be obtained from the
following grant opportunities web page and from Dr Axel L.
Kroeger, Manager Steering Committee on Implementation.
