Grant Description

Purpose: This AHRQ Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to AHRQ under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA), Public Law 111-5, invites applications from institutions for the AHRQ Mentored Clinical Scientists Comparative Effectiveness Development Award (K12). The purpose of this program is to support the career development of health services and clinical researchers who have made a commitment to focus their research on the generation, translation, and dissemination of new scientific evidence and analytical tools in comparative effectiveness. The award will provide three years of supervised study and research for one cohort of clinical and research doctorates. Mechanism of Support: This FOA will utilize the Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Program Institutional (K12) award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards: It is anticipated that AHRQ will make 5-6 awards for a total of $15 million. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. Because the nature and scope of the proposed career award program will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number, quality, and costs of the applications received.
