This case study, one in a series of research efforts designed to examine the utilization of the Administration on Aging's research, examines the Nursing Home Information Project (NHIP), which developed a methodology whereby a local organization with access to volunteers could produce a consumer guide to nursing homes in its community. (Three manuals were produced that contain instructions and materials for nursing home assessments.) Illustrative vignettes describe how two broad categories of users have employed the materials: organizations among the original implementation sites that have continued their NHIP-related efforts and organizations uninvolved in the effort to develop the NHIP approach. Examples include revision of original guides and expansion to new geographical areas. Several propositions to improve research utilization that emerged from the NHIP experience and from two previous case studies are discussed: extensive social networking, interventions to boost utilization, and vigorous information dissemination. Four general policy implications suggested by the propositions are then considered. (YLB)
