Grant Opportunity To Implement Evidence-Based Findings into Clinical Decision Support

The Division of Health IT recently released two FOAs as part of AHRQ’s Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Initiative to accelerate evidence into practice through CDS.

• “Developing New Clinical Decision Support to Disseminate and Implement Evidence-Based Research Findings“ will focus on developing new, reliable, valid, and usable CDS from evidence-based findings and demonstrating its effectiveness to improve care in clinical practice.
• “Scaling Established Clinical Decision Support to Facilitate the Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-Based Research Findings” will focus on extending (“scaling”) well-established and effective CDS beyond the initial clinical setting or institution in which the CDS was originally developed and implemented, thereby extending the impact on clinical practice.
