OpportunityTitle: AHRQ Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); AHRQ&#191;s authorizing legislation does not allow for-profit organizations to be eligible to lead applications under this research mechanism.  For-profit organizations may participate in projects as members of consortia or as subcontractors only.  Because the purpose of this program is to improve healthcare in the United States, foreign institutions may participate in projects as members of consortia or as subcontractors only.  Applications submitted by for-profit organizations or foreign institutions will not be reviewed.  Organizations described in section 501(c) 4 of the Internal Revenue Code that engage in lobbying are not eligible.  HHS grants policy requires that the grant recipient perform a substantive role in the conduct of the planned project or program activity and not merely serve as a conduit of funds to another party or parties. If consortium/contractual activities represent a significant portion of the overall project, the applicant must justify why the applicant organization, rather than the party(s) performing this portion of the overall project, should be the grantee and what substantive role the applicant organization will play. Justification can be provided in the Specific Aims or Research Strategy section of the PHS398 Research Plan Component sections of the SF424 (R and R) application.  There is no budget allocation guideline for determining substantial involvement; determination of substantial involvement is based on a review of the primary project activities for which grant support is provided and the organization(s) that will be performing those activities.
Description: The primary purpose of the AHRQ Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented AHRQ-supported independent investigators trained in comparative effectiveness methods to conduct patient care outcomes research. The program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent AHRQ or other independent research support. The program targets investigators early in their career to support their development of new research skills in methodology and new interdisciplinary perspectives and capabilities in PCOR.
