AHRQ Conference Grant Programs (R13)

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is keen on advancing its mission of making healthcare safer, higher-quality, more accessible, and affordable through the support of conferences. To this end, they have established the AHRQ Conference Grant Programs (R13), which include both single-year and multiple-year grants.

These grants are designed to stimulate dialogue, discussion and advancement in healthcare by funding conferences that support the agency's principal objectives. It also seeks to make healthcare more equitable, which means ensuring all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances, have equal access to quality health care services.

Additionally, the AHRQ looks to collaborate with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other key partners. The goal here is not just to generate evidence about effective healthcare practices, but also to ensure such evidence is conveniently understood and utilized for the betterment of healthcare systems.

More information about the agency's funding policies and FOA guidance can be found at http://www.ahrq.gov/funding/policies/foaguidance/index.html. The AHRQ is excited about the potential these conferences hold in improving healthcare and encourages interested parties to apply for the R13 Conference Grant Programs.
