Description
Purpose. This new FOA is for Research Demonstration and Dissemination Projects to expand current state-level, multi-sector efforts to transform primary care practices and develop sustainable infrastructure for quality improvement in small and medium-sized primary care practices. The goal of the FOA is to foster the advancement and evaluation of leading state-level primary care practice support efforts that may become models for a potential national primary care extension service. Successful applicants must demonstrate existing successful collaborative efforts and significant existing infrastructure and activities. Grant supported efforts are to be directed towards 1) enhancing current efforts and filling identified programmatic gaps and 2) program evaluation and sustainability planning. Additionally, a minimum of 25% of grant funds must be applied to dissemination activities targeted to other states. All applications must include a plan for packaging their efforts, including lessons learned and a plan for sharing their experience with a minimum of three other state-level coalitions.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the AHRQ Cooperative Agreement Research Demonstration and Dissemination Projects (U18) grant mechanism.
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. AHRQ intends to make three awards totaling up to $1.5 million in 2011. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
