AHRQ Research Infrastructure Program: Phase II Limited Competition (R24)

archived

Purpose. This FOA is the second phase of a research infrastructure program for grantees that were awarded planning grants (P20s) under RFA-HS-05-010 in 2006 (see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-05-010.html). Under this original program, five grants were funded for planning activities related to the development of health services research infrastructure within selected states that historically had received limited health services research funding from AHRQ. This FOA is a competitive continuation that extends these activities. Only the original five grantees supported under the above referenced RFA are eligible to apply in response to this FOA. The purpose of this second phase is to allow these grantees to build on their achievements from the original P20 grant, to refine, expand, and implement the plans developed during the first phase, and to conduct two to three health services research projects. At least one of these projects must be a primary, as opposed to a pilot, research project. It is believed that this additional funding will ensure that the health services research infrastructure is sufficiently developed to allow for sustainability by the end of the funding.
