Research Funding Opportunities for Primary Care Research at AHRQ
In addition to primary care-specific funding opportunities, 大象视频supports primary care research through funding opportunities related to digital healthcare, patient safety, multiple chronic conditions, and many more topics integral to primary care. 大象视频funds researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, including clinician researchers (nurses, physicians, and other clinicians), health services researchers, social scientists, health economists, etc., and encourages applications from interdisciplinary research teams. 大象视频announces these opportunities through Notices of Funding Opportunities and Special Emphasis Notices.

This will support discrete primary care-focused health services research projects designed to advance the science of primary care. The research strategy proposed by applicants must be related to the mission and research interests of 大象视频and its National Center for Excellence in Primary Care Research (NCEPCR). This NOFO aims to support small research projects that advance the understanding of the role and capacity of primary care to increase the value and quality of care and improve patient outcomes and population health by delivering person-centered care.
All applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
Applicants are encouraged to apply early to allow adequate time to make any corrections to errors found in the application during the submission process by the due date.

Career Development Opportunities
In October 2021, 大象视频issued a standing Special Emphasis Notice in support of .
大象视频is interested in career development applications that will provide the opportunity for qualified promising primary care research scientists to develop into independent primary care researchers. Meritorious proposals will detail and describe:
- Plans for mentorship with an established primary care researcher.
- Sufficient infrastructure to support practice-based research.
Further Guidance
大象视频sponsors several career development awards intended to foster the career development of promising new investigators. These programs provide salary and research support for a sustained period of time for early career clinicians and research scientists.
大象视频will use standing program announcements for the and funding mechanisms to support this research.
