Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA HS 19 002
The grant opportunity titled "Using Data Analytics to Support Primary Care and Community Interventions to Improve Chronic Disease Prevention and Management and Population Health (R18)" is a discretionary research grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). It was released under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HS-19-002 (CFDA 93.226) and was created on March 20, 2019, with an original closing date of May 29, 2019. The program is aimed at supporting projects that use data and applied research methods to improve chronic disease prevention and management, with a strong emphasis on advancing health equity and improving outcomes for individuals and communities that experience higher risk of poor health.
At its core, this funding opportunity focuses on using data analytics to strengthen the connection between primary care and community-based interventions. The idea is not just to analyze data for reporting purposes, but to turn data into actionable insights that real-world partners can use to make decisions and improve services. Applicants are expected to develop or enhance data resources, apply health services research methodologies, and then translate findings into analytics, tools, or information that can be directly used by primary care practices, health care delivery systems, public health departments, and/or community organizations. The intention is to help these partners identify needs, target interventions, and monitor whether changes are improving outcomes, especially for populations that have historically been underserved or face structural barriers to care.
A major theme of the opportunity is addressing social determinants of health (SDOH), meaning the non-medical factors that shape health, such as housing stability, food security, transportation, education, employment, safety, and access to supportive services. The FOA encourages projects that help frontline providers and community partners recognize and respond to these factors using data-driven approaches. In practical terms, this could involve combining clinical data with community-level data, improving how SDOH information is collected and shared, identifying geographic or demographic patterns in chronic disease burden, or building analytics that guide referrals to community resources. The broader goal is to support "whole person" care, described in the announcement as 360-degree care, which includes physical health, behavioral health, oral health, and social services needs rather than treating medical conditions in isolation.
The chronic disease focus includes both prevention and management, and explicitly includes the challenge of multiple chronic conditions. This signals interest in projects that go beyond single-disease solutions and instead tackle the realities of patients who may be living with overlapping issues such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, COPD, depression, substance use disorders, or other long-term conditions, often alongside unmet social needs. The overall population health framing also suggests that funded work should aim to improve outcomes across groups and communities, not just within a single clinic panel, while still being grounded in primary care and community implementation settings.
In terms of eligibility, the FOA is broadly open to a wide range of organizations that can carry out applied research and partner effectively with health and community systems. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as described in the full eligibility text. This wide eligibility range reflects that meaningful data-driven chronic disease work often requires collaboration across sectors, including health care, public health, social services, housing, education, and community-based organizations.
The funding parameters listed in the source indicate an award ceiling of $666,500, with an expectation of making about three awards. While the FOA summary does not specify project duration or required matching, the use of the R18 mechanism generally aligns with applied health services research and demonstration-type projects where the work is expected to be practical, implementation-oriented, and informative for broader adoption. Competitive applications under this type of announcement typically demonstrate strong partnerships with end users (like clinics, health systems, and community organizations), clear plans for data acquisition and governance, rigorous analytic methods, and a credible pathway for translating analytic outputs into real decisions or workflow changes that improve prevention, chronic disease management, and equity.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to move beyond traditional research that stays in academic settings. It prioritizes real-world analytics that help care teams and community partners see unmet needs, coordinate across sectors, and deliver more integrated services. The expected outcome is not only better clinical management of chronic illness, but also stronger capacity to address upstream social drivers of health in ways that measurably improve population health and reduce disparities.Apply for RFA HS 19 002
