<a name="head2"></a><h2>Highlights from AHRQ's Health Care Research Scholars Program</h2>
<p>This is the second installment in our continuing series focusing on the recent achievements of current and former scholars who received support for their research education from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, AHCPR) through the Agency's <a href="https://www.ahrq.gov/fund/training/rsrchtng.htm#ITA">National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training grants program</a>.</p>
<p>We are very proud of the accomplishments and recognition received by these current and former students, as well as the accomplishments of their training programs and advisors. We look forward to sharing their news with you from time to time.</p>
<p>These features will provide a window into the future of health services research and the individuals who have already begun to lead the way toward meeting the new challenges we will face in the years ahead. If you are a current or former scholar whose research education was supported by AHRQ or its predecessor agencies (the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, AHCPR, and the National Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology Assessment, NCHSR) and you would like to be mentioned in an upcoming issue of <em>Research Activities</em>, please send a message with appropriate information to our E-mail: <a href="mailto:training@ahrq.gov/">training@ahrq.gov</a>. In particular, we are eager to hear about how your research findings have been translated into practice or how your research has affected health care in the United States. We look forward to hearing from you.</p>
