Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Grants for Health Services Research Dissertation Program (R36), Funding Opportunity Number PAR 09 212, is a discretionary grant program run by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to support dissertation research in health services research. Its core purpose is workforce-focused: AHRQ is trying to make sure there is a strong and diverse pipeline of highly trained health services researchers, in sufficient numbers and in the right topic areas, to advance AHRQ's mission and priorities. In practical terms, this program is meant to fund research that a student is already undertaking as part of a doctoral program, helping them complete a dissertation that contributes to areas such as healthcare costs, quality, and outcomes (CFDA 93.226). It is positioned as a continuation of an existing AHRQ initiative rather than a one-time special competition, reinforcing that it is part of an ongoing strategy to develop the next generation of researchers in this field.
The mechanism used is the dissertation research grant mechanism (R36). That matters because it signals the grant is designed specifically around dissertation-level work tied to earning a research doctorate, not a larger independent research project or an institutional training program. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $40,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the burden on applicants and their institutions. The notice also makes clear that the total number of awards and overall dollars ultimately awarded are not fixed in advance; they depend on both the quality and merit of the applications received and the availability of funds during the award period.
Eligibility is described broadly and includes a range of government and academic entities, such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments). The listing also notes that additional eligible applicants include eligible agencies of the federal government and Indian/Native American tribal governments (other than federally recognized). The opportunity category is labeled discretionary, the funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is health, which collectively frames this as a standard federal assistance award aimed at supporting health-related research activity.
Key timing details show that the opportunity was posted and created on July 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2012, and an archive date of September 1, 2012. While that indicates the specific announcement is historical and no longer open, the description and structure still illustrate how AHRQ has supported dissertation-stage health services research through the R36 mechanism. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide (linked in the source), and the contact information provided is oriented toward technical assistance for accessing the announcement online through the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster.
