Are methodological approaches other than randomized trials acceptable (e.g., quasi-experimental, qualitative, case studies)?
Yes. Because the design of a dissemination and implementation research project requires equal attention be paid to the external validity and the internal validity of the strategies being tested, this program announcement encourages consideration of a broad range of methodological approaches. The ones selected should be justified as most appropriate for the specific research question(s) being examined or hypotheses being tested.
