Opportunity Summary:
The Small Grant Program for Conference Support (R13), funding opportunity number PA 06 074, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). It is designed to provide modest, targeted support for conferences that advance AHRQ's broader mission of improving the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. The program is tied to CFDA 93.226 (Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes) and focuses on convenings that can shape the health services research field, strengthen how research is conducted, and accelerate the use of evidence to improve real-world health care delivery.
AHRQ is seeking proposals for conferences that fit into one or more of four main categories. First are research development conferences, which are meant to clarify pressing problems in health care delivery and produce concrete research agendas or strategies for studying them. Second are design and methodology conferences, which focus on advancing the technical and methodological foundations of health services research, including improving existing approaches or developing new study designs and methods. Third are dissemination conferences, where the main purpose is to synthesize and communicate research findings to audiences that can actually apply them, such as health care organizations, policymakers, professional groups, or other stakeholders positioned to improve outcomes, quality, access, utilization, and costs. Fourth are research training, infrastructure, and career development conferences, which bring together researchers (including faculty and students) and users of research to develop, exchange, and spread training products and experiences such as curricula, syllabi, core competencies, and practical approaches, especially those that help train multidisciplinary researchers or help emerging institutions build capacity to conduct and translate health care delivery research in the United States.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity uses multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline (the archived listing shows a current closing date of August 22, 2009, with an archive date of September 22, 2009, indicating that applicants needed to consult the full announcement for the exact receipt date schedule and submission details at the time). The original posting date was November 23, 2005, with later updates reflected in the creation date information.
Eligibility is oriented around U.S.-based nonprofit leadership and emphasizes that the award is intended for organizations rather than individuals. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and for the purposes of this funding announcement AHRQ will make grants only to nonprofit organizations. A wide range of domestic public and private nonprofit entities may apply, including universities and other higher education institutions, clinics, units of state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, foundations, and scientific or professional societies. While for-profit organizations cannot serve as the primary applicant, they may participate as part of a consortium or as subcontractors. The announcement also makes clear that organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code that engage in lobbying are not eligible, and that an individual person cannot receive a grant to support a conference.
The opportunity also includes specific guidance related to international conferences. If a conference is international in scope, the eligible grantee is the U.S. representative organization of an established international scientific or professional society. In addition, grant funds cannot be used to provide general support for international conferences held outside the United States or Canada. However, AHRQ may fund specific aspects of an international conference held outside the United States or Canada, which signals that limited, well-justified components tied closely to AHRQ's mission may still be considered even when the broader meeting occurs abroad.
Overall, this R13 program is best understood as a small, mission-driven conference support mechanism. AHRQ is looking for meetings that produce practical outputs like research agendas, improved methods, broader dissemination of actionable evidence, and stronger training and infrastructure for the health services research workforce, with the ultimate aim of improving how care is delivered and measured across the U.S. health system. For full requirements and the receipt date schedule, applicants were directed to the complete announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-06-074.html.
