The purpose of this Notice is to inform the research community that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is interested in receiving health services research grant applications to advance our nation’s understanding of the opioids crisis and provide solutions for addressing it.

This effort is part of AHRQ’s commitment to supporting the HHS 5-point strategy to address the opioids crisis: Better addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery services, Better data, Better targeting of overdose-reversing drugs, Better pain management, and Better research.  AHRQ already is contributing to the HHS strategy by funding research to increase the use of
medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in primary care practice; supporting the development of systematic evidence reviews; making available implementation tools, and producing actionable data utilizing the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project.  For more information, see: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-HS-18-015.html

This program is intended for early stage research investigators. Applications will only be accepted from post-doctoral fellows, assistant professors, or individuals in similar early stage research career positions who are engaged in minority health and health disparities research. Early career researchers from diverse backgrounds interested in the conduct of health research, within academic, community-based, non-profit, and other non-academic settings, are encouraged to apply.

HOW TO APPLY

The online application is now open on the NIMHD website: https://nimhd.nih.gov/programs/edu-training/hd-research-institute/hdri_logon.asp.
