Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Health Services Research Demonstration and Dissemination Grants (R18), identified under Funding Opportunity Number PA 13-046, is a discretionary grant program run by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Its purpose is to fund a clearly defined, stand-alone health services research project that is proposed by an institution or organization and carried out by a specific named investigator and an assembled study team. In practical terms, this mechanism is designed for projects that do more than generate findings on paper; it supports research that demonstrates, tests, and helps spread (disseminate) evidence and approaches that can improve how health care is delivered, what it costs, and what outcomes patients experience. A central requirement is that the proposed research plan aligns with AHRQ's mission and fits within AHRQ's current portfolio priorities in health services research, meaning applicants need to show a clear connection between their project goals and the agency's focus areas around health care quality, outcomes, patient safety, efficiency, and value.
The program uses the "Grant" funding instrument type, and its activity category is Health, with CFDA number 93.226 (Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes). The opportunity description emphasizes that the award supports a discrete and specified project rather than open-ended institutional support, and that the work is expected to be conducted by the team identified in the application. The listed award ceiling is $250,000, which signals the upper limit of funding per award under this announcement, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad across public-sector and academic entities, and it includes county governments, state governments, and city or township governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. It also includes Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, along with other Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The announcement also notes additional eligible applicants, including eligible agencies of the federal government. At the same time, it clearly excludes non-domestic entities, stating that foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply, which is an important boundary for universities or organizations with international headquarters or primary operations outside the United States.
Administratively, the opportunity was originally posted on December 17, 2012, and the record indicates an original closing date of September 25, 2015, with the listing later showing a current closing date of July 18, 2014 and an archive date of August 18, 2014. Those dates matter for historical context and for understanding the lifecycle of this particular announcement; as presented, it reflects an archived funding opportunity rather than an open call. Applicants seeking the full official instructions and requirements are directed to the NIH Grants Guide page linked in the announcement (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-046.html).
