About this opportunity
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is seeking proposals to develop, test, and evaluate strategies and interventions that improve diagnostic safety and quality in ambulatory care settings. Applicants must focus on creating scalable and sustainable approaches that integrate effectively within real-world clinical workflows and health systems across the heterogeneous ambulatory care environment. AHRQ will evaluate proposals based on scientific and technical merit, including the qualifications of the principal investigator and staff, appropriateness of methodology, and relevance to AHRQ's program priorities in diagnostic safety. Eligible applicants include federal and state governments, higher education institutions, tribal governments and organizations, nonprofits, and other qualified public or private organizations. The application deadline is March 25, 2026, with review conducted by peer committees of nonfederal consultants selected from appropriate scientific fields.
Award values typically range from $300,000 to $1,200,000 for projects under AHRQ's Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes program (CFDA 93.226), with project periods generally spanning 3 to 5 years depending on the funding mechanism and availability. Research may be conducted across diverse ambulatory care settings nationwide, including private practices, clinics, integrated healthcare delivery systems, and other outpatient care environments. Successful applicants can expect funding to be released on an annual basis according to established payment procedures, with grantees required to maintain records for at least three years and submit competing continuation applications if additional support is desired beyond the approved project period.
Synopsis
The purpose of this funding announcement is to invite proposals focused on developing strategies and interventions to improve diagnostic safety in the heterogenous ambulatory care environment. AHRQ is interested in providing support designed to develop, test, and evaluate ambulatory care activities that will improve diagnostic safety and quality.
