SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
AHRQ published its annual solicitation for nominations for
membership to serve on the IRG in the Federal Register on May 9, 2022
(87 FR 27643). AHRQ is publishing this supplemental solicitation
encouraging the nomination of individuals from populations
underrepresented in medicine to serve on the AHRQ IRG in order to
foster a diversity of perspectives among IRG membership. The peer
review of AHRQ grant applications involves an assessment conducted by
IRG committees consisting of qualified experts established according to
scientific disciplines or medical specialty areas. Members of the IRG
are 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)(i)-(v).
The IRG is comprised of five subcommittees, or study sections, each
with a particular emphasis around which peer reviewer expertise is
assembled. AHRQ seeks nominations for each of the subcommittee
competency domains described below:

disease; cardiovascular disease; pediatrics; pharmacologist in opioid
management; biostatisticians in health services research; health
disparities and social determinants of health.

information technology; health services research in patient-oriented
research; electronic health record and data for research; population-
based studies in medicine; epidemiology; telehealth/telemedicine;
emergency medicine; insurance benefit design; chronic condition care;
natural language processing and machine learning; social networking and
its determinants of health; health disparities and social determinants
of health.
Healthcare Systems and Value Research: Health statistics; health
care outcome research; evaluation and survey methods; health system and
