This opportunity from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funds research to advance the understanding, quality, and delivery of primary care in the United States. The program aims to generate evidence about the characteristics and value of primary care—such as care coordination, continuity, comprehensiveness, person-centeredness, and trust—and how these can be improved to enhance patient outcomes and advance health equity. Projects may address topics like care delivery models, workforce, digital health, social determinants of health, and methods for reducing disparities in access and outcomes. Research should have clear implications for strengthening primary healthcare and improving real-world practice.
