Opportunity Summary:
The Adult Medicaid Quality Grants: Measuring and Improving the Quality of Care in Medicaid (Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1F1-12-001) is a discretionary grant program run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Affordable Care Act. The program is designed to help state Medicaid agencies build stronger, more consistent systems for collecting, standardizing, and reporting data on the quality of health care delivered to adults enrolled in Medicaid. In practical terms, the grant focuses on helping states put the right measurement and reporting infrastructure in place, and then strengthening their ability to analyze what those measures show so they can identify gaps, track performance over time, and drive quality improvement for adult Medicaid populations.
The opportunity is rooted in Affordable Care Act provisions intended to improve access, affordability, and overall quality of care nationwide, with a specific emphasis here on adult Medicaid beneficiaries. CMS frames the need around the very large adult Medicaid population (about 30 million adults at the time of the announcement) and the challenge that states often vary in how they capture and use quality data. By supporting standardized data collection and reporting, the grants aim to make state-level information more comparable and usable, while also enabling states to move beyond reporting and into active performance measurement and improvement efforts.
Funding for this initiative comes from Affordable Care Act section 2701 (Title II, Subtitle I), which made $300 million available for Adult Health Quality Measures overall. CMS set aside $112 million of that amount for this particular grant opportunity. The program is structured over a two-year period of performance, with up to $56 million awarded each fiscal year across two years. CMS expected to make up to 56 awards total, and each state award could be as high as $1,000,000 per 12-month budget period, for an estimated maximum of $2,000,000 per grantee across the full two-year project period. There is no required state cost share or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for states to participate and allows them to focus funds directly on building measurement and analytic capacity.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting that Medicaid is administered at the state level and that the core deliverables involve statewide data systems, reporting processes, and analytic capabilities. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.609 (The Affordable Care Act Medicaid Adult Quality Grants).
Key administrative dates in the posting include a posted date of July 13, 2012, and an application closing date of August 31, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on September 30, 2012.
