Notice: Salary Limitation on FY2012 AHRQ Grants, Cooperative Agreements, and Contracts

Request for Applications

Requests for Applications (RFAs) are issued to invite grant applications in a well-defined scientific area to stimulate activity in AHRQ programmatic research priority areas. A single application receipt date is specified, and the announcement identifies the amount of funds earmarked for the initiative and the number of awards likely to be funded. Applications are evaluated for responsiveness to the RFA before review. Applications received in response to a particular RFA are reviewed by an appropriate AHRQ Study Section or by a special review group.

All RFAs are published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts.
