SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is to invite the public to nominate

Initial Review Group (IRG) responsible for the scientific peer review
of AHRQ grant applications. AHRQ is required to conduct appropriate
scientific peer review of grant applications pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
299c-1. The AHRQ IRG conducts scientific and technical review for
health services research grant applications and is comprised of five
subcommittees or study sections, each with a particular research focus.
AHRQ is seeking nominations for scientific reviewers in specific

AHRQ's mission is to produce evidence to make health care safer,
higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work
within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and with
other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.
AHRQ works to fulfill its mission by supporting health services
research, evaluation, demonstration, dissemination, and training
grants.
The peer review of AHRQ grant applications involves an assessment
conducted by panels of qualified experts established according to
scientific disciplines or medical specialty areas. Members of the IRG
will be selected based upon their training and experience in relevant
scientific and technical fields, taking in account, among other
factors: (1) The level of formal education and pertinent expertise and
experience; (2) extent of engagement in relevant research; (3) extent
of professional recognition; (4) need for specialization in relevant
field; and (5) appropriate representation based on gender, racial/
ethnic origin, and geography. See 42 CFR 67.15(a)(2).
