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 E:\FR\FM\17APN1.SGM 17APN1
