Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Public or non-profit private institution, such as a university, college, or a faith-based or community-based organization; AHRQкs authorizing legislation does not allow for-profit organizations to be eligible to lead applications under this research mechanism. For-profit organizations may participate in projects as members of consortia or as subcontractors only. Because the purpose of this program is to improve healthcare in the United States, foreign institutions may participate in projects as members of consortia or as subcontractors only. Applications submitted by for-profit organizations or foreign institutions will not be reviewed. Organizations described in section 501(c) 4 of the Internal Revenue Code that engage in lobbying are not eligible. Applications from health care provider organizations that directly provide services to the targeted population, such as integrated health care delivery systems or primary care Practice-Based Research Networks, interested in dissemination and implementation research in partnership with appropriate community stakeholders and members of the target population are also encouraged. HHS grants policy requires that the grant recipient perform a substantive role in the conduct of the planned project or program activity and not merely serve as a conduit of funds to another party or parties. If consortium/contractual activities represent a significant portion of the overall project, the applicant must justify why the applicant organization, rather than the party(s) performing this portion of the overall project, should be the grantee and what substantive role the applicant organization will play. Justification can be provided in the Specific Aims or Research Strategy section of the PHS398 Research Plan Component sections of the SF424 (R and R) application. There is no budget allocation guideline for determining substantial involvement; determination of substantial involvement is based on a review of the primary project activities for which grant support is provided and the organization(s) that will be performing those activities.

Grant Description

This AHRQ funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Resource-Related Research Project (R24) applications from applicant organizations that propose to build new and/or enhance existing capacity inresearch and dissemination infrastructure that will bridge the gap between clinical and health services research and everyday practice by building a knowledge base about how to improve the translation and dissemination of evidence-based health information, interventions, and clinical practices to populations not traditionally reached by such information or practice.In addition, AHRQ is aiming through this FOA to seed a sustainable infrastructure that would continue to disseminate appropriate evidence-based health information to such a population independent of research grant support.Applicants are invited to use collaborative expertise to propose innovative approaches to customizations of content and delivery mechanisms of existing evidence-based health information and/or tools for their use in the target audience(s) (as defined in this FOA under Part II Section I.1, Research Objectives section) so as to increase their use, implementation, and impact.Innovations should aim to increase the impact and effective use of evidence-based health information and/or tools by developing, implementing, and evaluating customizations that target important audiences, stakeholders, systems, or settings; these customizations should engage multiple user-stakeholders, including the target audience, and be grounded by the original evidence-based information/tools contents.
