NOT-HS-15-006: AHRQ Announces Interest in Research About the Epidemiology of Patient Safety Risks and Harms in Ambulatory Health Care Settings



AHRQ Announces Grant Opportunity for Ambulatory Patient Safety Research

Patients can experience harm in different clinical environments, and ambulatory settings are no exception. AHRQ is seeking to expand its patient safety knowledge in the ambulatory setting through high-impact research projects that can produce results quickly. Details about this grant opportunity are available in a recently released Special Emphasis Notice (SEN). AHRQ has developed multiple evidence-based tools to make hospital inpatient care safer. However, more knowledge about the extents and nature of harm in ambulatory settings is needed. To address this need, AHRQ is looking for grant proposals to adapt or refine an existing method or develop a new method to study safety and harm in ambulatory settings. AHRQ expects that the proposals will include validation and testing of the method or its application for conducting research related to ambulatory patient safety. Of special interest are projects that can fill gaps where there is little scientific evidence and that can link research results with actions. This includes describing how to apply the research in the real world by using strategies that mitigate and eradicate harm and adverse events. For questions, contact AHRQ via email and reference NOT-HS-15-006 and visit the AHRQ website for information on grant mechanisms that apply to this SEN.
