Integrating Comparative Effectiveness Research Findings into Care Delivery through Economic Incentives (R21)

archived

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits exploratory and developmental research (R21) applications from institutions/organizations proposing to advance knowledge on the ways in which comparative effectiveness research (CER) can be used to maximize the value of health care delivery in the United States. Specifically, the research sought under this announcement should inform the ways in which findings from CER can be incorporated into the incentives faced by providers, consumers, and payers, in order to bring about meaningful changes in clinical practice that could improve the quality of care for patients while helping to restrain growth in health care costs. The FOA is a component of the Common Fund initiative on Health Economics for Health Care Reform (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/healtheconomics).
