Funding HAI and Antibiotic Resistance Research
AHRQ’s Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Division funds clinical and health services research to develop the knowledge and practical tools used on the frontlines to prevent infections and make care safer. AHRQ is interested in funding research in all clinical settings—acute care, long-term care, and ambulatory care—in accordance with the framework established by the Department of Health and Human Services’ National Action Plan to Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map to Elimination and the research agenda of the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Action Plan.
