Grant Funding Available for Patient Safety Research

AHRQ is seeking funding applications for research projects that investigate safe medication use, medical simulation, diagnostic safety, healthcare-associated infections (including antibiotic resistance) and patient safety learning labs, where transdisciplinary teams use systems engineering methodology to develop and test innovative ideas for addressing patient safety threats. While AHRQ funds patient safety research in all settings of care, the agency is particularly interested in projects that examine the epidemiology of patient safety in ambulatory care settings and long-term care facilities, strategies that can improve safety in these settings and evidence-based tools to facilitate the implementation of these strategies.
