BWH Roybal Center (C4HDS) Behavioral Trials on Medication Use in Older Adults
Brigham and Women's Hospital Roybal Center / Center for Healthcare Delivery Sciences
Funds two-year randomized clinical trials of behavioral interventions that improve how older adults use evidence-based medications, covering non-adherence, overuse and underuse. This is one of the most openly external Roybal calls: researchers based anywhere in the U.S., including at nonprofit organisations, may hold the award, and collaboration with experienced pragmatic-trial teams is encouraged rather than required.
