Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Conference Grant Program (R13), Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-017, is a discretionary grant program from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality designed to support conferences that advance AHRQ's core mission: improving the quality, safety, efficiency, and overall effectiveness of health care for all Americans. Rather than funding general meetings, the program targets conferences that can move the health services research field forward in practical, high-impact ways, either by sharpening what questions need to be answered, improving how research is done, or accelerating how evidence is put into real-world practice across health systems and communities.
AHRQ outlines four main categories of conferences it will support. First are research development conferences, which focus on defining pressing problems in health care practice and delivery and then building a concrete research agenda or strategy to study those problems. Second are research design and methodology conferences, aimed at tackling major technical or methodological challenges in health services research, including the development of new study designs, analytic approaches, or tools that strengthen the field's ability to generate reliable, actionable evidence. Third are dissemination and implementation conferences, which are centered on summarizing and communicating research findings and evidence-based tools to organizations and individuals positioned to use them, with the goal of improving outcomes, quality, access, and the cost and utilization of health care services. Fourth are conferences focused on research training, infrastructure, and career development, where faculty, trainees, students, and stakeholders come together to develop, share, or spread research products and resources such as curricula, syllabi, training competencies, and other capacity-building materials; however, the announcement is explicit that these conferences are not intended to directly train individuals in health services research, but rather to support broader infrastructure and career development efforts.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the health funding activity category, associated with CFDA number 93.226 (Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. The posting and creation date listed is November 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 1, 2016, and an archive date of December 2, 2016. The estimated total funding amount shown is $35,000, indicating a relatively modest pool intended to support the targeted conference activities described in the announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations; and additional groups noted in the eligibility clarification, such as eligible federal government agencies and faith-based or community-based organizations. Applicants seeking full details are directed to the full announcement page hosted through the NIH grants policy/guide system at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-017.html, and technical access issues are routed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact listed in the notice.
