Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Rapid Secondary Analysis to Optimize Care for Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HS-14-001) was issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to support large research projects that can quickly generate practical evidence for clinicians treating people who live with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). The core idea behind the announcement is to fund rapid secondary analyses, meaning studies that use existing, large-scale datasets rather than collecting entirely new primary data. The expectation is that applicants will leverage substantial data resources to produce findings that are timely, clinically relevant, and directly useful for improving care processes and treatment decisions for patients managing more than one chronic illness at the same time.
This announcement uses the R01 mechanism, which is AHRQ's large research grant format, and it falls under the Health funding activity category. The associated CFDA number is 93.226 (Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes), signaling a focus not only on clinical outcomes but also on health care delivery, quality improvement, and cost-related implications. Projects supported under this FOA are meant to optimize care by identifying better ways to deliver services, coordinate treatment, and improve outcomes for complex patients whose needs often span multiple specialties, medications, and care settings. Because MCC patients frequently experience fragmented care and competing clinical priorities, the FOA emphasizes producing evidence that can help the clinical community make more informed, coordinated, and effective decisions.
The funding details indicate an estimated total program funding of $1,600,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per grant. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted and created on June 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2013, and it was archived on September 28, 2013. These dates show it was a time-limited solicitation intended to move quickly, consistent with the theme of producing rapid evidence from existing data.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. It also includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The FOA additionally allows certain other applicants as clarified in the eligibility notes, including eligible federal agencies and faith-based or community-based organizations. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are explicitly not eligible to apply, indicating the program is intended to support domestic research capacity and U.S.-relevant healthcare delivery questions.
A defining feature of this FOA is its focus on organizations with large datasets. While the announcement summary does not list specific dataset types, the framing implies resources such as administrative claims, electronic health records, large registries, or other substantial clinical and utilization datasets that can support robust secondary analysis. The emphasis on "rapid and relevant information" suggests that proposals would be expected to move efficiently from analysis to actionable insights, potentially by using established data infrastructure, mature analytic methods, and dissemination plans that connect results to clinical practice in a practical way.
