Opportunity Summary:
The Research Centers for Excellence in Clinical Preventive Services (P01) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HS-11-005) was issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to support the creation of research centers that can drive forward practical, high-impact research on clinical preventive services. It uses the Research Program Project Grant (P01) mechanism, which is designed for coordinated, multi-project programs where several related research projects and shared cores work together under one integrated center structure. The central idea is to fund tightly connected research that is more powerful as a package than as a set of separate studies, with an emphasis on synergy, shared resources, and a common theme.
The program is aimed at strengthening how evidence-based clinical preventive services are delivered through the formal health care system, with primary care positioned as a major point of leverage. Rather than funding prevention work in the broad public health sense, this initiative focuses on what happens inside health care settings: how preventive services are selected, implemented, delivered safely, and made routine in real clinical workflows. AHRQ frames this as complementary to other Federal prevention and public health investments by concentrating on the health care system's direct role in improving population health, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of care, enhancing patient safety, and improving patient experience. A key motivation behind the initiative is to accelerate progress aligned with the emerging National Prevention Strategy at the time of the announcement, by producing actionable evidence on how to implement preventive services well, not simply proving that they work.
Applicants were asked to build a Research Center for Excellence organized around one of three programmatic focus areas. The first is patient safety, emphasizing research that ensures preventive services are delivered in ways that reduce harm, prevent errors, and support safe decision-making in clinical practice. The second is health equity, emphasizing research that improves the reach, quality, and outcomes of preventive services for populations that experience disparities, including work that addresses inequities in access, uptake, and benefits from prevention. The third is health care system implementation, emphasizing research on the practical realities of adopting and sustaining evidence-based preventive services across health systems, including workflow integration, organizational change, quality improvement approaches, and strategies for reliable delivery at scale. Across all three tracks, the expectation is that the center's projects collectively form a coherent, multidisciplinary program capable of producing generalizable knowledge and usable implementation strategies.
From an eligibility standpoint, the opportunity was broadly open to a range of public-sector and academic institutions and certain tribal and governmental entities. Eligible applicants included city or township governments, county governments, state governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. The announcement also notes that other eligible applicants include eligible agencies of the Federal Government, as well as Indian/Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized entities, reflecting AHRQ's intent to enable participation by a wide range of organizations involved in health care delivery, research, and policy. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 93.226 (Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers to participation and allows centers to focus on building the strongest scientific program rather than assembling non-federal match.
The timeline for the opportunity reflects its status as an archived program announcement. It was posted on March 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2011, and an archive date of June 23, 2011. As a result, it represents a specific historical competition rather than an open, ongoing call. The full announcement was made available through an NIH grants webpage link, and technical access questions were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts listed in the notice.
Overall, this FOA sought to build a small number of strong, coordinated research centers capable of producing innovative and targeted evidence that helps the health care system deliver clinical preventive services more safely, more equitably, and more effectively in real-world practice. The emphasis was not only on generating new findings, but on structuring that work in a center model where multiple related projects reinforce each other, share methods and resources, and collectively push prevention implementation forward in ways that improve health outcomes and patient experience nationwide.
