Purpose

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission is to produce evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable. AHRQ works within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and with other partners to assure that the evidence is understood and used.

AHRQ intends to publish a Request for Applications (RFA) to disseminate and implement patient-centered outcome research (PCOR) findings into primary care practices, with a focus on improving heart health, and developing sustainable, primary care quality improvement (QI) capacity within states.

Applicants will be expected to establish multi-organizational partnerships that will support AHRQ's role to disseminate and implement patient-centered outcomes research. It will align with Million Hearts 2022 and is intended to support efforts of the Department of Health and Human Services.

This notice encourages investigators with appropriate expertise and insights to begin to consider applying for this RFA.
