AHRQ Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01)
The K01 award provides support for a sustained period of protected time for intensive research career development under the guidance of an experienced mentor or sponsor in the field of health services research leading to research independence. The expectation is that through this period of career development and research training, awardees will launch independent research careers and become competitive for new Federal and non-Federal research project funding. Applications must be responsive to AHRQs mission. The mission of the Agency is to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. AHRQ achieves this mission by supporting a broad program of health services research and by working with partners to promote improvements in clinical and health systems practices. AHRQs programs are designed to (1) improve clinical practice, (2) improve the health care systems ability to provide access to and deliver high quality, high-value health care, and (3) provide policymakers with the ability to assess the impact of system changes on outcomes, quality, access to, cost, and use of health care services.

Research Proposals Directed at Poor and Underserved Populations
Despite the steady overall decline in cancer incidence and mortality rates, the incidence of many cancers in poor and underserved populations is higher, and morbidity and mortality are often greater. The American Cancer Society is committed to reducing disparities and alleviating the disproportionate cancer burden borne by many underserved populations, and has designated this a high-priority area. The Extramural Grants Department of the Research Department has launched a special initiative to decrease disparities. Funds have been set aside (up to 10% of the research budget) to support research that addresses the disparity in cancer morbidity and mortality in poor and underserved populations. This initiative includes research that addresses a variety of clinical, cancer control, behavioral, epidemiologic, health policy, health services and basic science questions.

Kellogg Scholars in Health Disparities Program
The Kellogg Scholars in Health Disparities Program is preparing a new generation of minority scientists for careers and leadership roles in health disparities research, health policy research and health policy and practice. The program is supporting a cadre of creative thinkers - largely from minority groups and with a passion for health equity and social justice - trained in behavioral and social science disciplines, epidemiology and related biomedical sciences and public policy. Minority groups have been under-represented to date in leadership roles in academic health-related careers and in national health and public policy development. The program provides exposure to public policy-making and knowledge exchange and the interactive process of translating research findings into policy and practice. Through mentoring, research training, publishing and policy workshops, and diverse professional meetings, Scholars' career development and leadership roles are enhanced. Scholars will have access to a wide range of resources at the participating sites including an interdisciplinary program of mentoring, research and training tailored to Scholars' individual research needs and interests.
