About this opportunity
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting applications for the Health Services Research Dissertation Program (R36), which supports doctoral candidates conducting dissertation research as part of accredited academic programs. This continuation program provides funding to individuals undertaking health services research that advances understanding of healthcare delivery systems, quality, costs, and outcomes. Applicants must be doctoral students enrolled in accredited academic programs and conducting dissertation research eligible for a research doctorate degree. AHRQ will evaluate applications based on scientific merit, the qualifications of the principal investigator and research staff, appropriateness of research methodology, and alignment with program priority areas in healthcare delivery, quality improvement, and health services research. Applications will undergo peer review by scientific and technical experts, with funding decisions based on reviewer recommendations, program relevance, and available funding. The application deadline is March 25, 2026, with the program announcement posted on May 3, 2023.
Award amounts under the underlying Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes program (CFDA 93.226) typically range from $44,000 to $4,000,000, with most individual research project grants averaging between $300,000 and $1,200,000 over multi-year project periods of four to five years. However, specific award ranges for the R36 Dissertation Program may differ and should be verified in the full announcement. Research will be conducted at the applicant's accredited academic institution or affiliated healthcare delivery settings nationwide, encompassing diverse care environments including hospitals, ambulatory care practices, long-term care facilities, and community-based settings. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (both public and private), government agencies, tribal organizations, and nonprofit entities, with awards issued on an annual basis and funds released according to established payment procedures.
