Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Grants for Health Services Research Dissertation Program (R36) (Funding Opportunity Number PA 15-318) is a discretionary grant program from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality designed to support doctoral students while they carry out dissertation research in health services research. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant for individuals who are completing research as part of an accredited academic program leading to a research doctorate, with the grant helping to fund the dissertation work itself. The program aligns with AHRQ's broader mission to generate evidence that improves health care, particularly in areas tied to health care costs, quality, and outcomes, as reflected in the CFDA listing (93.226, Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes).
This funding opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the health funding activity category. It does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants are not expected to provide a formal institutional or personal match as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement was originally posted on August 4, 2015, and the final application due date for this particular posting was November 1, 2018, with the opportunity archived on December 2, 2018. While this specific announcement is no longer open, it represents an ongoing AHRQ program area that has historically been renewed or reissued over time, so applicants interested in similar support typically look for the most current R36 solicitation.
Eligibility is broad at the organizational level and includes many types of U.S.-based entities that can sponsor or submit applications connected to an eligible doctoral candidate. Eligible applicants listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The eligibility language also explicitly includes categories of institutions and agencies such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Eligible agencies of the federal government are also included. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible, reinforcing that the program is intended to support dissertation research conducted within the U.S. research and training environment.
The core purpose of the R36 mechanism here is to provide targeted support for dissertation research in health services research, a field that generally examines how people access health care, how much care costs, what happens to patients as a result of care, and how the organization, financing, and delivery of services affect quality and outcomes. By focusing on dissertation-stage projects, AHRQ is essentially investing in early career researchers and the pipeline of scholars who can contribute rigorous evidence to improve the health system. The official full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guidance infrastructure, and the source included a link to the detailed notice (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-318.html). For access or technical issues related to the posting, the listed point of contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
