Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08), listed under Funding Opportunity Number PA 13-039, is a discretionary grant program run by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to support mentored career development for early-career clinician-scientists. The purpose of the program is to build and sustain a strong pipeline of health services researchers by giving promising clinicians protected time, structured mentorship, and research support so they can develop into independent investigators whose work aligns with AHRQ's mission and priorities. In practical terms, the FOA is aimed at strengthening the national capacity to do rigorous research on how health care is delivered, what it costs, how good it is, and what outcomes it produces for patients and populations.
This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls within the Health funding activity category. The associated CFDA number is 93.226, labeled "Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes," which signals the main thematic focus: health services research and related areas that can improve health care systems, quality, safety, access, efficiency, and value. The K08 mechanism is specifically designed for individuals who need substantial, mentored research training and experience, typically involving a career development plan paired with a clearly defined research project that will generate publications, preliminary data, and skills needed to compete for future independent research awards.
The FOA was posted and created on December 12, 2012, with an original and final closing date of February 12, 2016, and an archive date of March 14, 2016. Because it is archived, it is not an active competition today, but it remains a useful reference for understanding AHRQ's approach to mentored clinician-scientist development and the types of institutions that were eligible to submit applications on behalf of candidates during the open period.
Eligibility was broad and institution-based, meaning applications were submitted by an applicant organization on behalf of an individual candidate. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The FOA also allowed applications from federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, as well as additional categories listed in the eligibility clarification, including eligible federal agencies and faith-based or community-based organizations, along with Indian/Native American tribal governments that are not federally recognized. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, the program is managed under AHRQ, with the full announcement historically hosted through the NIH grants guide (link provided in the source). For technical issues accessing the electronic announcement or linking to the funding notice, the listed point of contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
