We are pleased to inform you that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has recently issued three updated career development Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs). These FOAs announce AHRQ’s intent to continue its career development programs. They also highlight the need for applications to focus on identified priority areas in one of the six AHRQ portfolios: value, prevention/care management, health information technology, comparative effectiveness, patient safety, and innovations and emerging issues.
The FOAs also provide details regarding the transition of grant applications from paper to electronic submission, beginning with the next submission date (March 9, 2009) and continuing with all subsequent standard submission dates.
The updated program announcements and associated Internet links are:
