CDS Connect and cds.ahrq.gov to go Offline

On April 28th, 2025, CDS Connect and cds.ahrq.gov will go offline while the CDS Program realigns with new federal and agency policies. The creation of new CDS Accounts, as well as password resets for current account holders, has been suspended. Access to CDS Connect accounts will also be limited during this time. Please visit cds.ahrq.gov for updates. For any other questions, please contact the clinical decision support team at clinicaldecisionsupport@ahrq.hhs.gov.

In 2016, AHRQ launched a program of grants and contracts aimed at helping health care providers move patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) evidence into practice through clinical decision support (CDS). AHRQ advances the science of CDS by supporting implementers, clinicians, and technology vendors in developing CDS tools that are shareable, standards-based, publicly-available, and patient-centered. These components are detailed below.

Beyond these efforts, AHRQ continues to fund grants focused on advancing evidence into practice.  Grant funding is available for digital healthcare research and other priority areas, including clinical decision support. Please visit https://www.ahrq.gov/funding/fund-opps/index.html  for information on those opportunities.
