This AHRQ grant is for the establishment of Centers for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERTs) through U19 Research Program Cooperative Agreements. Applicants are invited to propose research centers that will address a minimum of three critical programmatic interest areas: comparative effectiveness, patient safety, tool development, healthcare system interventions, and translation of research findings into practice or policy. The proposed work must be unified by a central theme, encompassing 3 to 5 major projects over a five-year period, with strong encouragement for partnerships with relevant clinical care or financing organizations. Successful applications will also include a robust core infrastructure to support current and future collaborative projects across the CERTs network, fostering advancements in therapeutics research and education.

| Description: | Purpose. AHRQ seeks U19 Research Program Cooperative Agreement applications for CERTs Research Centers (RCs) that propose a body of work addressing a minimum of three of the five programmatic interest areas described in detail later within this FOA: (1) comparative effectiveness, (2) patient safety, (3) tool development, enhancement, and/or validation, (4) health care system interventions, and (5) translation of research findings into practice or policy. These interest areas represent overarching interests of AHRQ, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and other stakeholders in therapeutics research and education. The proposed work of a CERTs RC is required to fall within a Center-proposed theme that unifies 3 to 5 major projects proposed by the RC to be conducted over the 5 year period of the grant; project partnerships with individuals and/or organizations engaged in relevant aspects of clinical care or its financing are highly encouraged. Applicants must also propose a core infrastructure that will support not only their proposed work, but also allow the future development and conduct of additional projects and activities with other funding sources and partners. Each applicant must also nominate two or more concept briefs that outline important and common issues in therapeutics that could be addressed by the applicant along with other CERTs RCs. Common issues may include, but are not limited to, methodologies, quality use of therapeutics, policies pertaining to research and education in therapeutics, development of meaningful partnerships with outside entities, or dissemination and implementation of CERTs findings. These concept briefs will inform the development of committees and working groups across the CERTs to address issues of common interest; they may also form the basis of one or more major collaborative CERTs projects or activities undertaken annually with assistance of the CERTs Scientific Forum (www.certs.hhs.gov). |
