Applications may be submitted by domestic U.S. private and public nonprofit organizations, such as universities, clinics, foundations, scientific or professional societies, units of State and local governments, or tribes. An individual is not eligible to receive a grant in support of a conference. In the case of an international conference, the U.S. representative organization of an established international scientific or professional society is the eligible grantee. Grant funds may not be used to provide general support for international conferences held outside the United States or Canada. However, grant funds may be awarded to support specific aspects of an international conference held outside the United States or Canada.
Grant Description: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) announces its continued interest in supporting conferences through its Grant Program for Large Conference Support. AHRQ seeks to support conferences that help to further its mission to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. The types of conferences eligible for support include: 1) Research development - conferences where issues or challenges in the delivery of health services are defined and a research agenda or strategy for studying them is developed; 2) Design and methodology - conferences where methodological and technical issues of major importance in the field of health services research are addressed or new designs and methodologies are developed; 3) Dissemination conferences - where research findings are summarized and communicated broadly to organizations and individuals that have the capability to use the information to improve the outcomes, quality, access to, and cost and utilization of health care services; and/or, 4) Research training, infrastructure and career development conferences where research faculty and students are brought together with users of research to develop, share and disseminate research products, experiences, curricula, syllabi, approaches or core competencies required to train individuals from multi- and interdisciplinary backgrounds or prepare developing or emerging research institutions to conduct and translate research related to fostering improvements in health care delivery in the U.S. AHRQ is especially interested in supporting conferences that include plans and strategies for disseminating conference materials and products to other audiences, beyond the participants attending the event. Such strategies might include, but are not limited to, submitting articles for publication, posting information on a Web site, and seeking formal opportunities to disseminate the conference information through other venues. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will use the conference grant (R13) and conference cooperative agreement (U13) award mechanisms. AHRQ large conference grants are those with up to $100,000 per year in total costs with a total project period not to exceed 3 years. Applicants may request full or partial support for conferences. Requests for partial support are welcome and the peer reviewers will consider the overall structure and design of the proposed conference as well as the structure and design of any conference sub-component for which support is being requested. AHRQ encourages applicants to seek co-sponsorship of conferences. Under the R13 mechanism, the applicant will be solely responsible for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. Under the U13 mechanism the Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) retains the primary responsibility and dominant role for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project, with AHRQ staff being substantially involved and consulted by the PD/PI. Applications using the U13 mechanism are typically submitted after discussion with and concurrence regarding the use of this mechanism by AHRQ grants program staff. Applicants are encouraged to discuss submission of a U13 large conference grant application prior to application submission. Program staff contacts are listed in Section VII of this FOA. R13 and U13 applications may be submitted by domestic (U.S.) public organizations, i.e., units of State and local governments or tribes, and private nonprofit organizations, including universities, clinics, foundations, and scientific or professional societies. In addition, for-profit organizations are eligible to submit U13 applications. In the case of an international conference, the U.S. representative organization of an established international scientific or professional society would be the eligible applicant. Grant funds may not be used to provide general support for international conferences held outside the United States or Canada. However, grant funds may be awarded to support specific aspects of an international conference held outside the United States or Canada. While grant awards are made to institutions rather than individuals, this FOA and its instructions are addressed to potentially interested individuals to inform them of this funding opportunity and facilitate the preparation of grant applications by the individuals who will actually assume the primary responsibility for the preparation of their organization s application. Individuals will be referred to as conference conveners in this FOA. AHRQ encourages applications from conference conveners who have not previously received AHRQ grant support, women, members of racial and ethnic minority groups, and persons with disabilities.
