To: Researchers in the NBER Aging and Health Care Programs

NIH has just issued this new funding opportunity (due January 18,
2011) under its NIH Roadmap Initiatives:
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-11-001.html>Integrating
Comparative Effectiveness Research Findings into Care Delivery
through Economic Incentives (R21)
(RFA-RM-11-001)
NIH Roadmap Initiatives
Application Receipt Date(s): January 18, 2011

This FOA solicits research that advances knowledge on how CER
findings can be implemented to maximize the value of health care
delivery in the United States. The research sought under this
announcement should inform the ways in which findings from CER can be
incorporated into the incentives faced by providers, consumers, and
payers, in order to bring about meaningful changes in clinical
practice that could improve the quality of care for patients while
helping to restrain growth in health care costs.

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in this
competition, or in learning more about NIH propsals and grants
generally. I look forward to working with you.
