RESEARCH IN PATIENT SAFETY
NPSF Call for Letters of Intent
to Conduct Research and Development
in Patient Safety
Applications invited for grant projects beginning 2010
The National Patient Safety Foundation's Research
Grants Program seeks to stimulate new, innovative projects directed
toward enhancing patient safety in the United States. The Program's
objective is to promote studies leading to the prevention of human
errors, system errors, patient injuries and the consequences of such
adverse events in the healthcare setting. In this first stage of a
two-stage application process, Letters of Intent (LOIs) are solicited
for research and development that is broadly related to identifying
the causes of preventable injuries and errors and/or developing prevention
strategies and methods to implement them. From these LOIs, a subset
will be selected for preparation of a final proposal.
An original hard copy and a CD-ROM with the full LOI
document must be received by NPSF no later than July 24, 2009. The
number of grants to be awarded will depend on the nature and quality
of applications received and the total funds available. A
multidisciplinary team of experts will evaluate the LOIs.
Investigators will be notified of the status of their LOIs no later
than October 2, 2009.
In the second stage of the process, a limited number
of applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal, for which
more detailed instructions will be provided. Full proposals will be
due on December 11, 2009. Grant recipients will be notified no later
than February 19, 2010.

requirements.
Please send your original copy and
CD-ROM of the Letter of Intent to:
