AHRQ’s Health IT Funding Opportunities Available

AHRQ’s health IT released two new funding opportunities announcements (FOAs). Understanding Clinical Information Needs and Health Care Decision Making Processes in the Context of Health Information Technology [PA-11-198: Understanding Clinical Information Needs and Health Care Decision Making Processes in the Context of Health Information Technology (IT) (R01)
] will fund research aimed at elucidating the nature of cognition, task distribution, and work in health care delivery settings. Research projects funded under this FOA will address current knowledge gaps regarding our understanding of health care providers’ information needs and health care decision making processes. Ultimately, funded research projects will lead to the development and dissemination of evidence that will lead to appropriate design of health IT solutions that truly support clinical needs and lead to better outcomes. The total costs for a grant awarded under this FOA will not exceed $500,000 per year for a project period of up to 5 years. Understanding User Needs and Context to Inform Consumer Health Information Technology Design will fund projects [PA-11-199: Understanding User Needs and Context to Inform Consumer Health Information Technology (IT) Design (R01)] that will help build a knowledge base about consumers’ personal health information management needs and practices and related design principles. Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate how their proposed projects will lead to a better understanding of user needs and how their findings will impact consumer health IT design. Specifically, AHRQ is interested in funding research that leads to a robust understanding of user needs and context. The total costs for a grant awarded under this FOA will not exceed $500,000 per year for a project period of up to 5 years.
