About this opportunity

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) within the Department of Health and Human Services is soliciting health services research grant applications through the R01 funding mechanism to advance research focused on improving healthcare quality and patient safety, enhancing healthcare delivery and practice improvement, and strengthening whole-person healthcare delivery. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, state and local governments, tribal organizations, small businesses, and for-profit organizations. Research may be conducted across all healthcare settings including hospitals, long-term care facilities, ambulatory care practices, home healthcare, and pharmacy services, with involvement from diverse stakeholders such as patients, clinicians, policymakers, and healthcare organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, including the qualifications of the principal investigator and research staff, appropriateness of methodology, and relevance to AHRQ's identified program priorities. The deadline for submission is March 25, 2026, with applications undergoing peer review by committees including nonfederal consultants from appropriate scientific fields.

Awards under this program typically range from $300,000 to $1,200,000 on average, with some larger cooperative agreements reaching up to $4,000,000 over multi-year periods. Funded projects generally span 4-5 years, with grants approved for project periods of up to 5 years based on funding availability. Research may be performed at applicant institutions nationwide across diverse healthcare delivery settings, including urban, suburban, and rural locations. Funds are released annually following the payment procedures established between the grantee institution and DHHS, with grantees required to maintain records for a minimum of three years and submit to federal audits and inspections.
