Opportunity Summary:

The AHRQ Small Grant Program for Conference Support (R13), Funding Opportunity Number PA 09-231, is a discretionary grant program run by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to help fund conferences that directly advance AHRQ's mission: improving the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. Rather than supporting general meetings, the program is geared toward conferences that create practical value for the health services research and health care delivery community, especially when the event is designed to move a field forward by clarifying problems, building consensus, producing usable outputs, and spreading those outputs beyond the people who physically attend.

The opportunity supports four main categories of conferences. First are research development conferences, which focus on identifying key issues or challenges in real-world health care practice and delivery, then translating those challenges into a research agenda or strategy for studying them. Second are research design and methodology conferences, which tackle methodological or technical questions that matter broadly to health services research, including the development of improved study designs, analytic methods, or measurement approaches. Third are dissemination and implementation conferences, intended to package and communicate research findings, evidence-based tools, or actionable information to organizations and individuals positioned to use that knowledge to improve 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, competencies, and other materials that strengthen the research workforce and its supporting infrastructure.

AHRQ places special emphasis on conferences that are built with a clear plan for broader dissemination of conference materials and products, not just one-time presentations. Competitive proposals are expected to show how the work of the conference will live on after the event through concrete dissemination strategies, such as producing publishable articles, posting materials on a website, and seeking structured opportunities to brief or discuss the findings with wider audiences. The underlying idea is that the conference should generate outputs that can be used by people and organizations beyond the attendee list, increasing the practical impact of the federal investment.

From the source data, this opportunity was posted on August 21, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 22, 2012, and an archive date of November 22, 2012, indicating it is no longer open. The estimated total funding amount listed is $50,000, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is Health. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.226, Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private organizations. Eligible applicants listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. The listing also notes additional eligible applicants such as eligible agencies of the federal government and faith-based or community-based organizations, along with Indian/Native American tribal governments that are not federally recognized. For applicants needing the full official announcement, the detailed notice was posted through the NIH grants guide (via the provided link), and technical access issues were routed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
