About this opportunity

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting research proposals focused on understanding and improving diagnostic safety within ambulatory care settings. Applicants must conduct original research to identify the incidence and contributing factors of diagnostic errors across diverse outpatient clinical environments. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, governmental agencies, tribal organizations, and nonprofit 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 budget justification. The application deadline is March 25, 2026, with the opportunity posted under funding announcement PA-23-291 and CFDA number 93.226.

Award amounts under the parent Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes program (CFDA 93.226) typically range from $300,000 to $1,200,000, with some collaborative initiatives reaching up to $4,000,000 over five-year periods. Projects generally span four to five years, with funding distributed on an annual basis following institutional payment procedures established with the Department of Health and Human Services. Research may be conducted across varied ambulatory care settings throughout the United States, including outpatient practices, urgent care facilities, and other heterogeneous ambulatory care environments where diagnostic decision-making occurs.

Synopsis

The purpose of this funding announcement is to invite proposals focused on understanding and improving diagnostic safety in the heterogenous ambulatory care environment. AHRQ is interested in learning the incidence and contributory factors of diagnostic error within and across the array of ambulatory care services.
