Health information technology is a priority area for AHRQ. Since 2004, AHRQ has awarded $260 million dollars in grants and contracts to support planning, implementation, and evaluation of health IT, and to foster health information exchange. AHRQ-specific funding opportunities can be found at the AHRQ Web site. The HHS Office of Grants (OG) manages approximately 300 grant programs and awards over $239 billion in mandatory and discretionary grant funds annually. To learn more about grants management within HHS, please visit GrantsNet.
All AHRQ Requests for Applications (RFAs) are published on the AHRQ Funding Announcements Web page and in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Guide for Grants and Contracts.
Many AHRQ health IT projects also receive funding from private charitable foundations, the local community, and State governments.
