ERRATA FOR AHRQ HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (HIT) FY 04 RFAs HS-04-010, HS-04-011, AND HS-04-012 RELEASE DATE: November 26, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-HS-04-001 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (http://www.ahrq.gov) The AHRQ FY 2004 Health Information Technology (HIT) RFAs are: 1) Transforming Healthcare Quality Through Information Technology Planning Grants (HS-04-010), published in the NIH Guide November 20; 2) Transforming Healthcare Quality Through Information Technology Implementation Grants (HS-04-011); published in the NIH Guide November 20; and, 3) Demonstrating the Value of Health Information Technology (HS-04-012), published in the NIH Guide November 21. These RFAs have been revised to include the addition and correction of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) co-sponsorship. These revised RFAs appeared under the following websites: HIT Planning - http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-04-010.html HIT Implementation - http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-04-011.html HIT Value - http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-04-012.html See below for the changes made: 1) HIT PLANNING RFA Under CFDA, added NLM #: 93.879 Under the Mechanism of Support section: September 30, 2004 (NEW AWARD DATE) At the End of Background section, added NLM language: The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides grant support to health-related institutions and organizations for projects to plan, design, test and deploy systems and techniques for integrating data, information and knowledge resources into a comprehensive networked information management system. NLM supports these organizations in their efforts to build integrated advanced information managements systems (IAIMS). IAIMS are computer networks that link and relate the published biomedical knowledge base with individual and institutional databases and information files, within and external to an institution. The long- term goal of an IAIMS is a comprehensive and convenient information management system, one that brings useful, usable knowledge to action settings in health care, education and research, binding knowledge to effective action. Particular emphasis is placed on mechanisms that enable the easy flow of information between arenas of action, such as between health care and education, or between health-related organizations, such as from a community clinic to a hospital or public health department. Of particular interest to NLM are projects which focus on context-appropriate information to guide learning and decisions; standards based information management that employs standard vocabularies and information exchange protocols; and digital libraries. Under Where To Send Inquiries, added NLM contacts o Direct your questions about NLM scientific/research interests to: Valerie Florance, PhD Extramural Programs National Library of Medicine 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 301 Bethesda, MD 20892 Telephone: (301) 594-4882 FAX: 301 402-2952 Email: floranv@mail.nlm.nih.gov o Direct your questions about NLM financial or grants management matters to: Dwight Mowery Extramural Programs National Library of Medicine Rockledge 1, Suite 301, 6705 Rockledge Drive Bethesda, MD 20892 Telephone: (301) 496-4221 FAX: (301) 402-0421 Email: moweryd@mail.nlm.nih.gov 2) HIT IMPLEMENTATION RFA Under CFDA, added NLM #: 93.879 NEW at the end of Research Objectives is NLM language: The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides grant support to health-related institutions and organizations for projects to plan, design, test and deploy systems and techniques for integrating data, information and knowledge resources into a comprehensive networked information management system.

Under Supplementary Instructions, Section III. Rural and Small Community Projects, second paragraph of subsection d), added April 22, 2004 for Application Receipt Date. Under Where To Send Inquiries, added NLM contacts: o Direct your questions about NLM scientific/research interests to: Valerie Florance, PhD Extramural Programs National Library of Medicine 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 301 Bethesda, MD 20892 Telephone: (301) 594-4882 FAX: 301 402-2952 Email: floranv@mail.nlm.nih.gov o Direct your questions about NLM financial or grants management matters to: Dwight Mowery Extramural Programs National Library of Medicine Rockledge 1, Suite 301, 6705 Rockledge Drive Bethesda, MD 20892 Telephone: (301) 496-4221 FAX: (301) 402-0421 Email: moweryd@mail.nlm.nih.gov 3) HIT VALUE RFA Deleted under Purpose section the entire paragraph beginning with "The National Library of Medicine " AND inserted the following: The National Library of Medicine (NLM) supports research in biomedical informatics, bioinformatics, computational biology and health information sciences in such areas as : representation of medical knowledge in computers; organization and retrieval issues for image databases; enhancement of human intellectual capacities through virtual reality, dynamic modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning; medical decision-making; linguistic analyses of medical languages and nomenclatures; management of information in disasters; and approaches to linking genome and phenome data. In the area of clinical informatics, NLM is particularly interested in ways computers and networks bring value to the delivery of health care, the management of health information, and the support of informed decision making by consumers, patients, health care providers, and health care administrators. Other fundamental areas of interest include context- appropriate information to guide learning and decisions; standards based information management that employs standard vocabularies and information exchange protocols; and digital libraries.
