AHRQ’s PCOR Trust Fund Training Program (PCORTF–TP) invests in training grants that build researchers’ skills and enhance research capacity in these practice areas. PCOR is research that assesses the benefits and harms of preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, palliative, or health delivery system interventions. This research helps clinicians, patients, and caregivers make decisions about health care choices by highlighting comparisons and outcomes that matter to people, such as survival, function, symptoms, and health-related quality of life. The AHRQ PCORTF–TP supports individuals and academic institutions to train researchers and clinicians in CER methods applied within the context of CER/PCOR via mentored career development award mechanisms for emerging independent investigators, as well as targeted skill development and applied experiences via research grant mechanisms for independent researchers. PCORTF–TP grants support training for recent graduates, mid-career professionals, and established professionals in research and clinical settings. The program prioritizes expanding capacity in underserved and predominantly minority communities. AHRQ recognizes the importance of ensuring that its training activities are useful, well implemented, and effective in achieving their intended goals. Therefore, the PCORTF–TP evaluation reflects AHRQ’s commitment to ensuring responsible stewardship. The PCORTF–TP evaluation comprises analysis of grantee progress reports, a bibliometric analysis of grantee publications, key informant interviews with AHRQ program staff responsible for managing PCORTF–TP grants, focused discussions with the PCORTF– TP evaluation Stakeholder Working Group, and surveys of grantees and mentors. The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the outputs, outcomes, and impact of AHRQ’s PCORTF–TP. The evaluation will address the following questions: • What is the nature of PCORTF–TP activities for scholar/investigator development? • Which activities for PCORTF–TP scholars/investigators have the greatest influence on intended outcomes (e.g., PCOR careers)? • How have PCORTF–TP and partner institutions developed the capacity for E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1
