Opportunity Summary:
Advance Interoperable Health Information Technology Services to Support Health Information Exchange (Funding Opportunity Number: IX-IX-15-001) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from the federal program office beyond what is typical in a standard grant. The overall intent is to build on prior federal investments and practical lessons from the earlier State Health Information Exchange (HIE) Program, with a focus on moving from foundational capability to broader, routine, and higher-value use of interoperable exchange across healthcare stakeholders.
The program is designed to accelerate the widespread adoption and real-world use of HIE infrastructure, specifically emphasizing three core exchange approaches (often described as "transport mechanisms"). First is Direct secure messaging, which supports secure, point-to-point transmission of health information (for example, sending a referral package, discharge summary, or lab result to a known recipient). Second is query-based exchange, which enables authorized users to search for and retrieve relevant patient information from other organizations or networks when it is needed for care (for example, pulling a patient history from another provider during an emergency visit). Third is consumer-mediated exchange, which centers the patient as an active participant by enabling individuals to access, manage, and share their own health information (for example, patient access tools that allow sharing records with a new clinician or caregiver). Taken together, these mechanisms reflect ONC's interest in multiple complementary paths to interoperability rather than a single one-size-fits-all solution.
Funding details indicate an estimated total program amount of $28,000,000 with an expectation of making about 10 awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $1,000,000 (award floor) to $3,000,000 (award ceiling). The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to plan for non-federal contributions as part of the project budget and overall financing strategy.
Eligibility is limited to state-level entities, specifically state governments and U.S. territories and/or State Designated Entities (SDEs), as described in the eligibility information. This structure aligns with the program's emphasis on statewide (or territory-wide) infrastructure and coordination, recognizing that HIE effectiveness often depends on convening power, shared governance, and broad participation across competing health systems, public health agencies, payers, and community providers. The activity category is Health, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 93.719.
