Our agency funding curves1 track the progress of federal agencies’ grantmaking activity over the fiscal year, monitoring both their compliance with Congressional appropriations laws and their actual support of their scientific missions and the research community. For more information on the source data and processing used to create these graphs see our methods page.

All AHRQ awards and Obligations

Use the metric control to switch between the cumulative number of awards (restricted to Type 1 (new) and Type 5 (non-competing continuation) grants) and cumulative obligations (all grant Types 1-9).2

AHRQ Awards by Type

AHRQ makes new and competitive renewal awards, as well as non-competitive renewal awards, which are standard continuations of multi-year projects. Use the Award Type control below the chart to switch between the two.

  • New applications are requests for new projects that have not previously been funded.
  • Competitive Renewals are requests for continued funding after the original project period ends; these applications go through full peer review and must compete again for funding.
  • Non-Competitive Renewals provide continued funding for the next budget period within an already approved multi-year project.
