AHRQ Issues Report on Primary Care Research Investments

Sep 2, 2025

Per the notice below, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has issued a report on its primary care research investments.

New Report Highlights AHRQ’s 2023–2024 Primary Care Research Investments

In 2023 and 2024, AHRQ designated $84.1 million to new primary care research projects spanning fiscal years 2023–2029.  This was part of a broader $204.3 million portfolio supporting 104 grants and 12 contracts that were active during 2023 and 2024.  These investments aim to strengthen primary care systems, improve patient outcomes, address health disparities, and advance innovations that benefit patients, clinicians, and communities.  The agency’s second comprehensive review of recent primary care research investments is designed to inform and support primary care researchers, clinicians, and policymakers nationwide.  It offers updates from AHRQ’s National Center for Excellence in Primary Care Research, a high-level analysis of the agency’s primary care research portfolio, and summaries of grants and resources across nine key topic areas.  It also features impact stories and research profiles that spotlight projects with strong potential to improve primary care.  Access the report to learn more.
