Forms and Electronic Applications

Grant Application Forms

AHRQ has begun its transition to electronic receipt of grant applications. In conjunction with the change from paper to electronic filing, the current PHS 398 application will be replaced by the Standard Form (SF) 424 Research and Related (R&R) application.

For additional information on electronic grant applications, please go to Forms and Electronic Applications at NIH.

Important: Download a fresh copy of the application package and instructions from Grants.gov each time you plan on submitting an application. Following this advice will ensure you have the latest forms. For electronic submission, Version 1 of the application guide continues to be used for Funding Opportunity Announcements posted before June 15, 2006 unless and until such opportunities are reposted. Version 2 of the application guide is to be used only with Funding Opportunity Announcements using Version 2 of the SF424 (R&R) forms (the updated application forms). These funding opportunities are clearly noted with a "Version-2-Forms" in the "Competition ID" field of the forms package.
