Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ ARRA Recovery Act 2009 Limited Competition AHRQ Mentored Clinical Scientists Comparative Effectiveness Development Award (K12) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law 111-5. It invites applications from institutions, rather than individual applicants, to create and run an organized mentored career development program focused on comparative effectiveness. The central goal is to grow a pipeline of health services and clinically trained researchers who are committed to building, translating, and spreading new evidence and analytic methods that help determine what healthcare approaches work best for which patients and under what circumstances.
This program uses the institutional K12 mechanism, meaning the award goes to an eligible institution that then supports a defined cohort of selected scholars (typically clinicians and other doctoral-level researchers) through a structured, mentored environment. The program is designed to provide up to three years of supervised study and research for one cohort of clinical and research doctorates. In practical terms, the institution is expected to provide a strong training and mentorship framework that develops scholars skills in generating comparative effectiveness evidence, improving the tools used to analyze that evidence, and promoting the translation and dissemination of findings so they can influence real-world healthcare decisions.
AHRQ anticipated making approximately 5 to 6 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $15,000,000. The award size could vary by applicant because the scope and structure of proposed career development programs may differ from one institution to another, but the listed award ceiling is $850,000. As with most federal opportunities, awards were contingent on the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of high-quality, meritorious applications, so the final number and dollar amounts depended on what was submitted and recommended for funding.
There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for applicants, which lowers the financial barrier for institutions that want to propose a robust training and mentorship program. The opportunity was posted on December 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 20, 2010, and it was archived on February 20, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited ARRA-related funding initiative tied to the Recovery Act period.
Eligibility was broad and included public and private institutions of higher education (including public/state-controlled institutions), as well as various government entities such as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. It also included Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). In addition, the announcement notes eligibility for certain federal government agencies as described in the full eligibility details. Overall, the intent was to enable a range of capable institutions and public entities to host high-quality mentored programs that accelerate the development of experts in comparative effectiveness research.
The funding opportunity number for this announcement is RFA-HS-10-007, and the full notice was hosted through the NIH grants guide system referenced in the announcement.
