Concerns about high and ever-rising health care expenditures and the efficiency and quality of health care have accelerated in recent years. These concerns along with changing market forces, burgeoning health care workforce shortages and compensation issues, and the recent enactment of the federal Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), have motivated public and private insurers, large employers, health care providers, and various research and policy centers to devise and examine new ways to structure, organize, and pay for health care.
Health policy journals and newsletters regularly publish reports on these activities. However, scientifically valid, replicable findings and studies considering the full range of outcomes relevant to these innovations are needed. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit high-quality, health economics research ancillary to large-scale federal and non-federal pilots, demonstrations, or other experiments (PDEs) in health care payment, structure, or organization that are examining ways to increase value by reducing or controlling costs while maintaining or enhancing quality and outcomes. This FOA runs in parallel with another separate funding opportunity announcement focused on economic studies ancillary to PDEs to increase the value of health care that are in the planning stages, but have not yet been implemented (RFA-RM-11-024).
Nature of the Research Opportunity
This initiative is funded through the NIH Common Fund (http://commonfund.nih.gov/), which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact and that are relevant to the missions of more than one NIH Institute or Center. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress.
Because of the Affordable Care Act and other initiatives, a number of large-scale PDEs geared toward reducing costs or controlling cost growth while maintaining or improving patient outcomes have been conducted or are in the field. This FOA is intended to enhance the knowledge generated from these PDEs by supporting researchers interested in using them as platforms for studying relevant and complementary scientific questions. For example, a given PDE focused on a service delivery innovation intended to reduce costs may be limited in its ability to examine questions related to all relevant aspects of outcomes or quality in a rigorous manner. Conversely, a PDE examining a quality improvement innovation that also has the potential to reduce costs may not have the resources to collect the requisite data nor the appropriate expertise to examine cost or economic efficiency questions thoroughly. As another example, an existing PDE may not have employed a randomized design, but an ancillary study could analyze the data using a statistical method to adjust for potential endogeneity or selectivity bias, thereby enhancing the study’s ability to generate causal inferences.
Especially relevant to this FOA are ancillary research projects that are informed by or test hypotheses generated from economic theory. Also especially relevant are ancillary projects that propose approaches of high scientific rigor to support causal inferences (e.g., randomized control trials or research designs that otherwise address potential biases due to sample selection or endogeneity). Projects involving multidisciplinary teams led by a health economist, or with the substantial involvement of a health economist, are encouraged.
PDEs relevant to this FOA include large-scale PDEs with potentially broad generalizability, PDEs focused on health-cost drivers, and experiments in organizational forms. In general PDEs should be geared toward reducing costs or controlling cost growth while maintaining or improving patient outcomes. Research projects that are ancillary to, or that could inform the design or evaluation of, innovations called for under the Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), are also especially relevant.
Applications must include documentation of permission (e.g. a data use agreement) from the parent PDE to use the sample, data, or other relevant information from the parent PDE unless the information is in the public domain. Ancillary projects being conducted alongside ongoing PDEs must not interfere with the parent PDE or unduly burden participants. Approved procedures and policies from the parent PDE must be followed.
Applications proposing to examine specific clinical interventions without a primary focus on the effects of structure, organization, or payment arrangements, e.g. efficacy or effectiveness studies of specific medications or procedures, are not responsive to this FOA and will not be reviewed.
Examples of Research Sought
Examples of the broad types of research projects sought under this FOA may include, but are not limited to those based on large-scale completed or ongoing PDEs and that use the following designs to examine the effects of health care structure, organization, or payment innovations on cost, quality of care, and/or patient outcomes:
Examples of the types of completed or ongoing PDEs that may be the basis for the proposed ancillary research relevant to this FOA may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Examples of specific ancillary research topics that may be relevant to this FOA include, but are not limited to, the following:

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field? Does the project have the potential to generate information that could lead to meaningful reductions in health care costs or cost growth? How will the proposed research directly affect patient care, health-care delivery, health care financing, health care systems, public health, and/or health policy? Does the project build upon a large-scale PDE with potentially broad generalizability?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD(s)/PI(s), do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project? Is there sufficient economic, clinical, institutional, and/or other expertise on the project team to meet the scientific needs of the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed? Are the scientific hypotheses clearly stated? Are they generated by a sound, apt, economic theory or
conceptual model? Does the proposed research design support causal inferences?
If the application proposes to conduct research alongside an ongoing PDE, does
the application contain adequate information to support the feasibility of the
PDE (e.g. approvals, funding commitments) to continue as well as the planned
ancillary study (e.g. letters of support)?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Resubmissions
Not applicable.
Renewals
Not applicable.
Revisions
Not applicable.
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact/priority score.
Applications from Foreign Organizations
Not applicable.
Select Agent Research
Reviewers will assess the information provided in this section of the application, including 1) the Select Agent(s) to be used in the proposed research, 2) the registration status of all entities where Select Agent(s) will be used, 3) the procedures that will be used to monitor possession use and transfer of Select Agent(s), and 4) plans for appropriate biosafety, biocontainment, and security of the Select Agent(s).
Resource Sharing Plans
Reviewers will comment on whether the following Resource Sharing Plans, or the rationale for not sharing the following types of resources, are reasonable: 1) Data Sharing Plan; 2) Sharing Model Organisms; and 3) Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
Budget and Period of Support
Reviewers will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Applications will be evaluated for scientific and technical
merit by (an) appropriate Scientific Review Group(s) convened by the Center for Scientific Review, in accordance with NIH peer
review policy and procedures, using the stated review
criteria. Review assignments will be shown in the eRA Commons.
