Description

The Department of Health and Human Service, Agency for Healthcare and Research and Quality through the Program Support Center intends to award a sole source simplified acquisition firm fixed price award to The Ambulatory Pediatric Association (APA), 6728 Old McLean Village Drive, McLean, Va 22101. The Ambulatory Pediatric Association (APA) Young Investigator Grant Program provides financial support for teaching, research, and health care delivery projects in general pediatrics. This program will provide training opportunities to conduct research focusing on one of AHRQ's priority populations (children) as outlined in AHRQ's strategic plan. This is the only organization that has established such a program and AHRQ feels this is the only organization that can enhance research knowledge and growth for potential pediatric researchers. The APA mission is accomplished through patient care, academics (teaching and research), and advocacy-Patient safety is a major initiative of AHRQ and HHS. This APA program is vital to AHRQ because it will allow young investigators to continue to conduct important studies relevant to child health services research. It also is important because significant research findings emerging from studies (e.g., emergency pediatrics, quality of health and healthcare for children, critical care, adolescent medicine, behavior and development, and neonatology) that translate research into practice are being published and disseminated through national health journals. APA has the expertise and familiarity of child health services research and the understanding of the range of children's health care issues. It's imperative that APA continues to implement this innovative research program with AHRQ's support in providing research opportunities for young researchers.
