PARTNERSHIPS FOR QUALITY: ADDENDUM Release Date: May 30, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-HS-02-009 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (http://www.ahrq.gov) PURPOSE The purpose of this addendum is to inform potential applicants of clarification to the funding priorities for RFA-HS-02-010, published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, on May 10, 2002, titled "Partnerships for Quality," administered by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Since the release of this RFA, AHRQ has decided to further emphasize the following areas of investigation: (1) Translation, dissemination, and implementation of mental health care for children using evidence-based research and (2) measurement of the impact of these activities. Funding priority will also be given to applications submitted under the RFA for exploratory or pilot research projects that address these stated priority areas. Applications that address these priority areas should demonstrate that specialty and community-based care links back to health care settings providing primary care to children, including but not limited to private, office-based primary care, school-based health sites, and community health centers. It is in primary care settings that many children with behavioral and mental health problems are first seen and where a major responsibility for care delivery and coordination lies. Partnerships between specialty and primary care organizations are encouraged. The other award criteria listed in the RFA will also be considered by AHRQ in making final funding decisions.
