Coming Soon: AHRQ to Award Grants for Identifying and Managing Unhealthy Alcohol Use

A new Notice of Intent published by AHRQ signals the Agency’s upcoming plan to fund grants to improve primary care practices’ efforts to address unhealthy alcohol use among adults. The Agency will issue a Request for Applications (RFA) for projects that would implement patient-centered outcomes research findings to better identify and manage unhealthy alcohol use. Interventions must include screening and brief intervention, as well as medication assisted therapy. Applications are not yet being accepted, but AHRQ intends to issue its RFA in the fall of 2018. Contact AHRQ’s Monique Cohen or Robert McNellis for more information.
