Description:
This program announcement (PA) supersedes PAR-01-001, dated October 12, 2000.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has established the
Minority Research Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP) to increase the
capacity of academic institutions predominantly or substantially serving
minority racial and ethnic minority populations and the faculty at these
institutions to conduct health services research that has the capacity for
being disseminated, implemented and translated into practice and policy. The
intent of the research infrastructure program is to strengthen the research
environments of minority institutions through grant support to develop and/or
expand existing capacities for conducting research in health services.
To facilitate the goal of assisting minority institutions in increasing their
capacity to conduct health services research, the M-RISP provides support for
two types of primary activities: (1) Institutional research development
support, to strengthen the institutional infrastructure and enhance the
capability of individual faculty members to undertake health services
research; and (2) Individual investigator research project support, for
developing research scientists to conduct small grant research activities
that can lead to successful applications for funding under regular health
services research grant mechanisms.
This Program Announcement (PA) expires three years from the release date
shown above, unless reissued.
