AHRQ publishes new PQMP Funding Opportunity Announcement

AHRQ--Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: Advancing Excellence in Health Care



FOA invites U18 Research Cooperative Agreement Applications

The FOA invites cooperative agreement applications to support the dissemination and implementation of a subset of new child health quality measures developed by the Pediatric Quality Measures Program-Centers of Excellence (PQMP-COE) in key pediatric measurement and quality improvement (QI) gap areas through the work of multi-disciplinary partnership teams. These teams include pediatric measure developers, QI and systems experts, state Medicaid/CHIP programs, health plans, provider-level organizations, and other key stakeholders.
The partnership teams will have two key goals focused on assessing the feasibility and usability of the new PQMP-COE measures within the Medicaid/CHIP patient populations at the state, health plan, and provider levels to support performance monitoring and QI through: (A) field testing, refinement, data collection, and reporting on new measures; and (B) use of performance data from the measures to define QI goals and test multilevel improvement strategies.
The earliest submission date is May 28, 2016. The FOA may be viewedhttp://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-16-002.html.
