What healthcare decisions are you struggling with? Would a review of the scientific evidence help inform this decision? Share your ideas with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program. If you have any questions, please contact epc@ahrq.hhs.gov.
Before You Get Started
When you submit a suggestion, you are nominating a topic for a potential evidence report by the Effective Health Care (EHC) Program.
Evidence reports are based on existing published research. Therefore, there must be enough published literature about a topic in order for an evidence report to be conducted. If you are interested in submitting ideas for new primary research funding (i.e., not a topic for evidence report), go to Funding Announcements.
