Institute For Implementation Science & Health

Institute For Implementation Science & Health, an international not-for-profit organization headquartered in Kathmandu, Nepal, operates as a sub-recipient on federal research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically under the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The vendor holds no prime federal contracts and does not compete under federal set-asides; all three awards in the source record are sub-grants where IISH performs implementation science and field research activities under prime recipients.

IISH's federal footprint consists entirely of implementation-science work in global health. The vendor performs implementation trials and capacity-building activities supporting NIH-funded research conducted through academic prime recipients. Recent sub-grant work includes a March 2026 award from Rutgers The State University of New Jersey for the Mobile-based Obstetric Monitoring for Pregnancies Complicated by Hypertension and/or Diabetes (MOM-HD) Type II Hybrid Implementation-Effectiveness Trial; a November 2025 sub-award from Yale University for the Community Health Worker Led Hypertension Prevention and Control (CHPC) program in Nepal, where IISH oversees ground-level implementation, conducts community health worker training and performance monitoring, collects baseline and endline survey data, manages monthly facility-level data collection, and prepares NIH financial reports; and an April 2024 Yale sub-award for the same CHPC program at its outset. The scope of the Yale awards spans community health worker recruitment, training, performance management, government engagement for implementation sustainability, survey and facility-level data collection, and manuscript development in collaboration with U.S. co-investigators.

All three awards fund Department of Health and Human Services programs (100% concentration at HHS-NIH). Combined potential value across the three sub-awards stands at $671 thousand. Activity is minimal and periodic — one award per year across 2024, 2025, and 2026. IISH serves no direct federal customers and maintains no parent-vehicle positioning; it is a specialized implementation-science organization supporting academic-led global health research conducted in Nepal.
