AHRQ to Support Risk Assessment
Grants
April 25, 2003 - The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) announced April 8 a request for applications
from for-profit and non-profit organizations for 5 to 10 Safe
Practices Implementation Challenge Grants.
The grants are designed to assess patient safety risks to
patients and devise ways to prevent them, as well as to implement
safe practices to eliminate or reduce known hazards in the
patient care setting.
The Agency expects to award up to a total of $3 million,
with grant recipients required to provide a minimum of 50
percent of the total costs. Letters of intent are due June
16, and applications are due July 15. A special technical
assistance workshop and conference call is scheduled for June
12.
