Opportunity Summary:
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) offered this discretionary grant opportunity as a Large Research Project (R01) focused on how clinicians and care teams actually think, work, and make decisions when using health information technology (health IT). The central goal was to fund research that clarifies the cognitive work behind clinical care, how tasks and responsibilities are distributed across individuals and teams, and how day-to-day clinical work is carried out in real health care delivery settings. In practical terms, AHRQ was looking for studies that move beyond general claims about technology or workflow and instead produce detailed, evidence-based understanding of what information health care providers need, when they need it, how they interpret it, and how they use it to make decisions for patients.
A key emphasis of the announcement is filling knowledge gaps about information needs and decision making at multiple levels: the individual clinician (for example, a physician deciding on a diagnosis or medication), multiple clinicians acting together, and the broader health care team that includes not only doctors and nurses but also therapists and administrative staff. The opportunity explicitly highlights that clinical decisions and information use are often collective activities shaped by team coordination, handoffs, roles, and the realities of clinical workflow. AHRQ was signaling strong interest in research that examines cognition and task distribution in different care contexts, recognizing that decision making can vary substantially depending on setting, workload, time pressure, interruptions, and the structure of care delivery.
Administratively, this opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number PA 11-198 with the title "Understanding Clinical Information Needs and Health Care Decision Making Processes in the Context of Health Information Technology (IT) (R01)." It used the grant funding instrument and fell under the health activity category, with CFDA number 93.226 (Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling listed was $500,000, indicating the maximum amount AHRQ would provide per award under the terms presented in the summary information.
The eligible applicant pool was broad and included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Eligibility also extended to Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized, as well as other entities referenced in the announcement's eligibility clarification section. This mix of eligible applicants suggests AHRQ intended the program to be accessible not only to universities and academic medical centers but also to public-sector and tribal entities positioned to study real-world clinical environments and health IT use.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on April 8, 2011. The original and final closing date shown is July 5, 2014, and the archive date is August 5, 2014, meaning the announcement is no longer open for applications. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants system (via the provided PA link), and technical questions about accessing or linking to the funding notice were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
