Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Health Services Research Projects (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 14 291) is a discretionary grant program from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality that supports a clearly defined, stand-alone health services research project. In plain terms, it funds a specific research plan proposed by an applicant organization and carried out by a named principal investigator and their study team. The core expectation is that the proposed work squarely aligns with AHRQ's mission and priority research interests, which center on producing evidence that helps improve the U.S. health care system, particularly around health care costs, quality, and outcomes.
This opportunity uses the R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for substantial, hypothesis-driven or problem-focused research projects with a coherent scope of work, defined aims, and a project period and budget that fit the work being proposed. The funding activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.226, Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes, signaling that applications should focus on health services research that generates actionable findings about how care is delivered, paid for, measured, and improved. While the notice does not list specific topic areas in the excerpt provided, the consistent emphasis is that the research must be relevant to AHRQ priorities and contribute practical evidence for decision-makers such as clinicians, health systems, payers, and policymakers.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $250,000, indicating the maximum amount that can be awarded under the terms summarized here. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which reduces financial burden on applicants and allows organizations to propose projects without committing non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding instrument type is a grant, meaning the recipient organization has responsibility for carrying out the approved project and managing the award in compliance with federal requirements and AHRQ terms.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governments. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. It also includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The announcement also indicates that other eligible applicants can include eligible federal government agencies and faith-based or community-based organizations, which expands access beyond academic institutions to organizations that may be closer to real-world care delivery and community implementation contexts. At the same time, there are clear restrictions: foreign institutions and non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible, reinforcing that the applicant and the performing components need to be U.S.-based.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on July 18, 2014. The original closing date and the current closing date are both listed as July 5, 2017, and the archive date is August 5, 2017, meaning the opportunity is no longer active and has been formally archived.

Overall, this R01 announcement represents AHRQ's standard mechanism for funding rigorous, discrete health services research projects that can produce evidence on what improves health care value, quality, safety, access, efficiency, and patient outcomes. It targets institutions and organizations capable of executing a well-scoped research project led by an identified investigator, with funding up to the stated ceiling and no matching requirement, provided the work fits AHRQ's mission and priority areas.
