Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality · Department of Health and Human Services
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is the HHS agency that produces evidence to make health care safer, higher-quality, and more accessible. Its contract dollars, roughly $0.13B in FY2025 obligations, are dominated by large national data-collection programs: the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), run by Westat, is the single largest award, followed by the CAHPS and SOPS patient-experience and safety-culture survey programs, the Patient Safety Organization privacy protection center, and cybersecurity and web-services IT support. The spend is a survey-and-data book behind AHRQ's research mission rather than facilities or hardware.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality awarding sub-agency. It shows where AHRQ's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. AHRQ's mission is largely carried by research grants; this contract feed captures its procurement slice — chiefly national health surveys and data systems — not its total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Health and Human Services monitor.
