Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Grant Program for Large or Recurring Conferences (R13), funding opportunity PAR 09 257, was a discretionary grant program run by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to support conference activities that advance AHRQ's core mission: improving the quality, safety, efficiency, and overall effectiveness of health care for all Americans. The focus is on conferences that strengthen health services research and help move useful evidence into real-world health care practice, not just meetings for networking or general education. AHRQ emphasized that supported events should have a clear public-benefit purpose tied to better health care delivery and outcomes.
The program funded several main types of conferences. First are research development conferences, which are designed to clearly define pressing problems or gaps in how health care is practiced and delivered and then produce a research agenda or strategy for addressing those problems. Second are research design and methodology conferences, which concentrate on technical and methodological issues that matter broadly to health services research, including developing or improving study designs, methods, and measurement approaches. Third are dissemination and implementation conferences, which focus 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 research training, infrastructure, and career development conferences, which bring together faculty, trainees, students, and stakeholders to develop and share research products and training resources such as curricula, syllabi, and core competencies.
A central priority in this announcement was extending the impact of the conference beyond the people physically attending. AHRQ signaled that competitive proposals would include concrete dissemination plans for conference materials and products, such as preparing manuscripts for publication, posting presentations or supporting resources on a website, and creating structured opportunities to share results with wider audiences. In other words, the agency was looking for conferences that generate durable outputs and spread useful knowledge in ways that can change practice, inform policy, or strengthen the research field.
Funding was provided through the R13 conference grant mechanism. Award sizes and project periods were expected to vary because conferences differ widely in scale and complexity, particularly for large or recurring events. The announcement noted that awards depended on the availability of funds and on receiving a sufficient number of high-quality, meritorious applications. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity was $100,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was broad and included public and private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as Native American tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized) and other eligible federal agencies as described in the opportunity. The program fell under the Health activity category and was associated with CFDA 93.226, Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 19, 2009, with an original and final closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013. Additional details were made available through the NIH grants guidance page referenced in the listing, and technical access questions were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact.
