<h2><a name="head1">AHRQ awards new grants</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has awarded new research, conference, and training grants, including approximately $12 million in total projected funding over the next 5 years to fund 10 new research projects on key topics. These topics include pediatric and women's health, cost-effectiveness analysis, ethics in intensive care units, and smoking cessation. These projects are described below, followed by a listing of other research grants, small project grants, conference grants, and a National Research Service Award fellowship.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Readers are reminded that findings usually are not available until a project ends or is nearing completion. The newly funded projects are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Improving the evidence for unstable angina guidelines</strong><br />
|
|
Principal investigator: David A. Katz, M.D.<br />
|
|
Organization: University of Wisconsin, Madison, WS<br />
|
|
Total projected funding: $87,917 <br />
|
|
Project period: 9/1/00-8/31/02 <br />
|
|
This project will assess the impact of AHRQ's unstable angina guideline on the outcomes of emergency room patients with chest pain.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Risk-adjustment of 1-year health status outcomes in coronary artery disease</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: John A. Spertus, M.D., M.P.H.<br />
|
|
Organization: Saint Luke's Foundation, Kansas City, MO <br />
|
|
Total projected funding: $1,294,396 <br />
|
|
Funding period: 9/1/00-8/31/04<br />
|
|
This observational study will follow over 3,000 patients with acute coronary syndromes to identify their long-term outcomes, including physical and mental functioning, amount of angina, and quality of life for 1 year after hospital admission. This information will permit improved assessment of quality of care and facilitate patient decisionmaking by improving the understanding of anticipated outcomes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Impact of early discharge following bypass surgery</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: Patricia A. Cowper, Ph.D.<br />
|
|
Organization: Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC <br />
|
|
Total projected funding: $694,334 <br />
|
|
Project period: 9/11/00-8/31/02<br />
|
|
The objective of this study is to determine the impact of decreases in lengths of stay following coronary artery bypass graft surgery on clinical outcomes. Also, researchers will identify patient and hospital factors that are associated with good outcomes following early discharge.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Measurement of women's satisfaction with primary care</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: Carol S. Weisman, Ph.D.<br />
|
|

|
|
Total projected funding: $551,588<br />
|
|
Project period: 7/1/00-12/31/01<br />
|
|
The goal of this project is to measure women's satisfaction with their primary health care. Researchers from three of the Department of Health and Human Services-designated National Centers of Excellence in Women's Health will develop a patient satisfaction instrument specific to women that can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a supplement to standard patient satisfaction instruments.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Statistical inference for cost-effectiveness analysis</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: Joseph Gardiner, Ph.D.<br />
|
|
Organization: Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI<br />
|
|
Total projected funding: $793,419<br />
|
|
Project period: 7/1/00-6/30/03<br />
|
|
The goal of this study is to develop statistical techniques to fill methodological gaps in current cost-effectiveness analysis models. The specific aims of the project are to develop new statistical approaches for estimates of cost-effectiveness parameters, conduct computer-simulated studies to assess the performance of the proposed methods, and apply the proposed methods to actual data sets. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Care management by a nurse practitioner/hospitalist team</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: Marie J. Cowan, Ph.D.<br />
|
|
Organization: University of California, Los Angeles, CA <br />
|
|
Total projected funding: $2,229,554<br />
|
|
Project period: 7/1/00-6/30/03<br />
|
|
The researchers will test an intensive intervention using hospitalists collaborating with nurse practitioners who also engage in postdischarge followup with patients in a general medical unit of an academic medical center. This project is cofunded by AHRQ and the National Institute of Nursing Research.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Impact of ethics consultation in the intensive care unit</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: Lawrence J. Schneiderman, M.D.<br />
|
|
Organization: University of California, San Diego, CA<br />
|
|
Total projected funding: $1,775,383<br />
|
|
Project period 9/1/00-8/31/03<br />
|
|
This multicenter, randomized controlled trial will examine the impact of ethics consultation for patients in intensive care units who have been identified as having "value-based treatment conflicts."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Smoking control in maternal and child health clinics: Dissemination strategies</strong> <br />
|
|
Principal investigator: Clara Manfredi, Ph.D.<br />
|

|
|
Total projected funding: $1,841,176<br />
|
|
Project period: 9/1/00-8/31/03<br />
|
|
This study will evaluate two strategies to disseminate the "It's Time" smoking cessation program and the AHRQ smoking cessation guideline to maternal and child health public health clinics. Two Illinois public health and human services agencies will serve as influential intermediaries for the dissemination.

|
Principal investigator: Robert L. Davis, M.D., M.P.H.<br />
|
|
Organization: University of Washington, Seattle, WA <br />
|
|
Total Projected Funding: $1,007,940<br />
|
|
Project Period: 9/1/00-8/31/03<br />
|
|
This project will evaluate the use of evidence at the point of pediatric care. The goal is to increase the application of evidence-based medicine, change physician behavior, and expedite the translation of research into clinical practice. The study will include a series of randomized controlled trials implemented at three sites, including academic pediatric and family medicine health care centers and a rural pediatric clinic.</p>
