SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background
Under Title IX of the Public Health
Service Act, AHRQ is charged with
enhancing the quality, appropriateness,
and effectiveness of health care services
and access to such services. AHRQ
accomplishes these goals through
scientific research, including evaluative
medical literature reviews and
technology assessments, and through
the promotion of improvements in
clinical practice and health systems
practices.
2. Purpose and Overview
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
topic nominations for evidence reports,
technology assessments, and
comparative and effectiveness reviews.
Professional societies, health systems,
employers, insurers, providers, and
consumer groups are encouraged to
nominate topics and then collaborate
with AHRQ, as it carries out its mission
to promote the practice of evidencebased health care. In this endeavor,
AHRQ serves as a science partner with
private-sector and public organizations
in their efforts to improve the quality,
effectiveness, and appropriateness of
health care delivery in the United
States, and to expedite the translation of
evidence-based research findings into
improved health care services. To
undertake scientific analyses and
evidence syntheses on topics of high
priority to its public and private health
care partners and the health care
community generally, AHRQ awards
task order contracts to its Evidencebased Practice Centers (EPCs).
The EPCs produce systematic reviews
of the scientific literature—evidence
reports, technology assessments, and
comparative and effectiveness reviews—
that provide to public and private
organizations the foundation for
developing and implementing their own
practice guidelines, performance
