Abstract: The purpose of this project is to evaluate the governance structure of the EHC program at AHRQ. To achieve that purpose, information will be collected to identify strengths and weaknesses in the current EHC program's governance structure, methods for engaging stakeholders, and approaches to setting priorities for the research conducted by the EHC program. The second phase of the evaluation will be to contrast the EHC program with international programs of similar purpose.
