Agency for Health Care Research and Quality

Description

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in partnership with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), invites applications for funding to examine the relative effectiveness of treatment options for women of childbearing age with uterine fibroids. For women with symptomatic uterine fibroids, it is unclear which treatment strategies are more effective in managing symptoms and addressing patient preferences for reproductive options. As a result, patients and their clinicians often must decide on a plan of action without guidance from strong scientific evidence. Due to the complexity of treatment options, high quality evidence can help women select specific treatment options tailored to their individual preferences. AHRQ and PCORI intend to fund one application that will include a registry Research and Data Coordinating Center (RDCC) to build a registry infrastructure that involves six to ten separate and geographically diverse clinical centers (CC).

Who can apply

• County governments
• City or township governments
• Public and State controlled institutions of higher education
• Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
