Design Thinking Research Awards Design thinking has been described as “devising courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.” Toward that end, the CCTST and Live Well Collaborative (LWC) have joined forces to offer the Design Thinking Research Awards. Established by UC and Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 2007, the non-profit LWC specializes in research and development of products and services for Living Well across the lifespan. It is built around the open innovation model for moving translational research into the community.

Eligibility & Process The principal investigator (PI) must be a Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) faculty member. Clusters of investigators spanning disciplines, programs and institutions are strongly encouraged. Faculty based at UC or the Cincinnati VA Medical Center are encouraged to collaborate with CCHMC investigators. CCTST membership is required. A letter of intent (LOI) consisting of an application face page and 2 additional pages is required for each funding round. Selected investigators will be invited to submit a full application. To better understand how design-thinking might address a healthcare challenge, the CCTST and LWC are offering a Design Thinking in Healthcare Workshop (http://cctst.uc.edu/funding/designthinking).

Grants Available This grant opportunity provides partial support for a design-thinking Studio project. You identify a healthcare challenge and the LWC forms a multi-disciplinary design team (UC faculty and students). The team utilizes design thinking tools and a “co-invention” model (e.g. patients) to develop innovative products or services n to address that challenge. The maximum allowable grant is $10,000 in support for a 14-week project which ranges in cost from $29,000-$78,000, depending on the scope of the project, staffing and supplies needed to complete deliverables. The applicant’ should have department/division or grant funds to cover the remaining costs.

Frequently Asked Questions



What are some common reasons individuals might want to participate in the Community Leaders Institute (CLI)?

• Grant writing skills • Measurable outcomes • Survey design • Data analysis skills • Local and national data • Program evaluation/ research • Research ethics/applied research



How have past CLI participants used the information they learned in the CLI in their organizations or agencies?

• Developed a needs assessment to apply adapt a program to fit with community needs

• Analyzed program evaluation data • Used local or national data for a

grant application • Conducted staff trainings on QI

and used this to track outcomes • Developed database to track

program goals/progress



• Target Population: Cincinnati Public Schools students identified with asthma and having either a public health nurse or a school based health center onsite.

• Project Aims: To increase the identification and control of asthma and decrease absenteeism as well as emergency department visits for asthma.

• Evaluation Plan: The evaluation will look at the rate of access to providers and the utilization of medications for students with asthma. Barriers to care and noncompliance with regimens will be compared to identify the factors that reduce asthma control rates.

Description of Project:

“Growing Well Asthma

Improvement Implementation

Project”

What are some typical projects?

Example #1



• Target Population: All vulnerable postpartum women in Cincinnati.

• Project Aims: To identify and decrease on the amount of women who do not have a safe sleep arrangement after delivery.

• Methods: Community Health Workers (CHW)/Nurses (RN)/Social Workers (SW) will make home visits to postpartum women and provide education on safe sleep and ask moms to identify their safe sleep arrangement and strategies. Moms will complete a brief pre-test on safe sleep, watch a DVR on safe sleep and complete a post-test. The CHW/RN/SW will then provide them with a pack-n-play and schedule a follow up visit to evaluate compliance.

• Evaluation Plan: The evaluation will look at pre-test scores and post-test knowledge scores; track the number without safe sleep arrangements and evaluate compliance at follow up visit.
