The Research Institute for Home Care (the Institute)  announce a new round of dissertation grant funding for this year called the Home Care Research Grant. The Institute is seeking to sponsor one or more dissertation research projects to help advance the full spectrum of home care and may seek to improve care delivery at home through quality and innovation as part of our annual Home Care Research Grant.

Last year, the LeadingAge LTSS Center’s own Molly Wylie was selected for funding to support researching health literacy among community-dwelling older adults who access home and community-based services and their caregivers. Funding will be awarded up to $10,000 maximum per project.

Submissions will be accepted through Friday, May 9 at 5pm ET.

Projects must have focus in at least one of the following areas:

• Workforce
• Rural Health
• Patient Access to Home Care
• Virtual Care and Technology Utilization
• Disease-specific Innovation
• Payment and Delivery Models
• Quality of Care
• Care Delivery Continuum
