Description:

The National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality (the Council) is to advise the Secretary of HHS (Secretary) and the Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) with respect to activities proposed or undertaken to carry out AHRQ's statutory mission. AHRQ produces evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used. Seven current members' terms will expire in November 2021.

AHRQ is seeking individuals who: (1) Are distinguished in the conduct of research, demonstration projects, and evaluations with respect to health care; (2) are distinguished in the fields of health care quality research or health care improvement; (3) are distinguished in the practice of medicine; (4) are distinguished in other health professions; (5) represent the private health care sector (including health plans, providers, and purchasers) or are distinguished as administrators of health care delivery systems; (6) are distinguished in the fields of health care economics, information systems, law, ethics, business, or public policy; and (7) represent the interests of patients and consumers of health care. (You do not need to meet ALL of these requirements)

APTA is seeking to nominate a member to the council. The council meets approximately three times a year in the Washington DC area, but has been meeting remotely lately, and that option may continue. Members generally serve 3-year terms, beginning with the meeting in the spring of 2022.

This is not an APTA-appointed position. When APTA nominates a candidate, the nomination is sent directly to the federal agency. The agency is responsible for selecting members to the committee and any future communications on the interview process and selection status will come directly from the agency.
