New AHRQ Funding Opportunities Announcements Available 

AHRQ issued two new funding opportunities announcements addressing Patient-Centered Outcomes Research and Training.

 

• AHRQ Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Pathway to Independence Award will increase and maintain a strong cohort of new AHRQ-supported independent investigators trained in comparative effectiveness methods to conduct patient care outcomes research.  The program is designed to facilitate a transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent AHRQ or other independent research support.  It targets investigators early in their career to support their development of new research skills in methodology and new interdisciplinary perspectives and capabilities in PCOR.  Letters of Intent are due July 6 and the deadline to submit an application is July 31.
• AHRQ National Research Service Awards (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grants focuses on promoting improvements in clinical and health systems’ practices.  These training programs are designed to provide institutional support for the training of qualified pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees interested in improving clinical practice or the health care system's ability to provide access to and deliver high quality, high-value health care; and/or providing policymakers with the ability to assess the impact of system changes on outcomes, quality, access to, cost, and use of health care services.  Letters of Intent are due August 17 and the deadline to submit an application is September 12.
