About this program
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Department of Health and Human Services made its most recent awards under the Recovery Act – Comparative Effectiveness Research program (CFDA 93.715) on September 30, 2010, making this program inactive for the past 16 years. The program funded comparative effectiveness research comparing different interventions and strategies to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor health conditions, supported through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The program is no longer active. AHRQ obligated $303.1 million across 109 total awards, with 108 awards made in 2010 and one in 2009. This represents a single-year funding surge characteristic of Recovery Act stimulus programming rather than an ongoing solicitation cycle.
Awards were predominantly Project Grants (99 percent), with one Cooperative Agreement comprising the remainder. AHRQ was the sole funding agency. Award magnitudes ranged widely, from under $400 thousand to $11.7 million. Representative funded activities included comparative effectiveness networks such as the Scalable Architecture for Federated Therapeutic Inquiries Network ($8.3 million), disease-specific comparisons including bipolar disorder treatment ($9.8 million) and back pain outcomes ($9.9 million), pediatric chronic disease registries ($11.7 million), emergency care practice comparisons ($1.4 million), and diabetes intervention effectiveness studies ($3.0 million). The program also supported research infrastructure, dissemination networks, and community health worker delivery models.
No current grant opportunities are available under this program. The Recovery Act–funded comparative effectiveness research initiative concluded its funding cycle more than a decade ago. Organizations seeking AHRQ comparative effectiveness funding should evaluate active successor programs, as this listing is no longer soliciting new applications.
