Opportunity Summary:
The AHRQ Health Services Research Projects (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 13 045) is a discretionary grant program run by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to support a clearly defined, standalone health services research project. It uses the standard NIH-style R01 mechanism, meaning the application is expected to lay out a focused research question, a coherent study design, and a feasible workplan that can be carried out by the named principal investigator and their research team within the applicant institution or organization. The central requirement is fit: the proposed research plan must align with AHRQ's mission and its priority research interests and portfolio, with emphasis on practical, decision-relevant evidence that can improve the U.S. health care system.
In terms of subject matter, the program falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.226, Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes. That framing signals the kinds of projects AHRQ typically supports under this umbrella: studies that examine how care is delivered, what it costs, what outcomes patients experience, and how quality and safety can be improved. While the provided synopsis does not list specific topic areas beyond alignment with AHRQ priorities, the R01 format generally supports hypothesis-driven or question-driven research that produces actionable findings for clinicians, health systems, purchasers, and policymakers, rather than basic biomedical discovery.
The award has an indicated ceiling of $250,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding instrument type is a grant (as opposed to a contract), which typically means the applicant proposes the research approach and AHRQ supports it, rather than AHRQ purchasing a predefined deliverable in the way a contract would.
Eligibility is broad and includes many public-sector and education-based entities, as well as certain community and tribal organizations. Eligible applicants listed include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity also allows applications from Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Additional eligibility language indicates that other eligible applicants can include eligible agencies of the federal government, faith-based or community-based organizations, and Indian/Native American tribal governments that are not federally recognized. In practice, that range is meant to capture universities, research institutions, health systems and their affiliated research entities, governmental public health or health administration agencies, and qualified community organizations capable of conducting rigorous health services research.
Key administrative details in the source record show the opportunity was originally posted on December 17, 2012, with an original closing date of November 5, 2015, though the record also shows a current closing date of July 18, 2014 and an archive date of August 18, 2014. Those dates suggest the listing is now archived, so anyone interested in pursuing similar funding would need to consult AHRQ's current funding announcements or the NIH Grants Guide page for the most up-to-date version and any successor FOAs. The official additional information link provided is the NIH Grants Guide entry for PA 13 045 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-045.html), which is where applicants would typically find the full requirements for application structure, submission procedures, review criteria, and any topic-specific priorities.
