#ahrq — Public Fediverse posts

A new online tracking tool from AcademyHealth shows the sprawling scope of recent #research #grant #cancellations by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. #AHRQ https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/122429

NEW: Last week's terminations at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) total at least 150 grants worth $230M. That is over half of the agency's portfolio. It's the latest assault on healthcare, health equity, and the rule of law.

Researchers had been left hanging as AHRQ failed to renew budgets for months, sometimes over a year.

This continues the war on DEI. The word "equity" is the best predictor of termination.

Termination of AHRQ grants is ...

This continues the administration's war on DEI. AHRQ is required by Congress to study health delivery to minorities, women, children, and low-income and elderly populations. Exactly these grants are being killed. The best predictor of termination is having "equity" in a title or abstract. 🧪 #AHRQ

For these grant recipients, terminations came after months - in some cases over a year - of silence. #AHRQ simply failed to renew annual budgets and left researchers hanging. Some are still waiting. Now years of research in healthcare effectiveness are cut off. grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... 🧪

"#AHRQ Has Begun Canceling Research Grants. Here's What We Know."
https://ahsituationreport.substack.com/p/ahrq-has-begun-canceling-research

"Researchers across the country are receiving official notices that AHRQ [Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality] is ending grants that had already gone months without funding. AcademyHealth is working to document the scope of these cancellations, support affected researchers, and ensure policymakers understand the consequences."

B. The #USA's Agency for #Healthcare Research and Quality (#AHRQ) expired all Notices of Funding Opportunities, without posting any forecasted opportunities (https://www.ahrq.gov/funding/fund-opps/index.html).

And I hear staff were reduced from dozens to just one (https://bsky.app/profile/seanbruna.bsky.social/post/3mi36mj35nc2p).

Update. "Patient Safety Network Abruptly Cut by Trump Administration"
https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/faustfiles/114913

"The #Trump administration suddenly cut all funding for the Patient Safety Network (#PSNet) on Friday…PSNet is an influential and respected project within #HHS that has been dedicated to decreasing medical errors through research and knowledge dissemination. The endeavor has been credited with saving lives by helping change the culture by which clinicians learn from mistakes, thereby improving care."

Here's PSNet today.

Data from hosptials in 29 states show emergency department visits decreased 42% at the start of the #COVID19 pandemic. Those looking at #data on hospitalizations and longitudinal hospital mortality data should keep this in mind. Https://hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb298-COVID-19-ED-visits.jsp
