Opportunity Summary:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects (SHARP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ONC TR 005) was a discretionary, Recovery Act funded program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). It offered cooperative agreements, meaning ONC intended to stay actively involved with funded projects rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose was to competitively fund a small set of large, ambitious research efforts aimed at solving major, widely recognized barriers that had slowed the adoption and effective use of health information technology (health IT) across the country.
At its core, the program focused on “breakthrough advances” in health IT research, specifically targeting problems that were already well documented as obstacles to broader health IT uptake. The emphasis was not only on getting more organizations to adopt health IT, but on accelerating progress toward nationwide “meaningful use,” a central policy goal at the time tied to improving quality, safety, and efficiency in health care. SHARP projects were expected to support the vision of a high-performing, learning health care system, where digital tools and data help clinicians and organizations continuously improve care. In practical terms, the funded research was intended to make adoption easier and more effective by improving the pathway to meaningful use, rather than leaving providers to struggle with fragmented tools, usability challenges, interoperability gaps, or other systemic issues that made implementation difficult.
Funding for the initiative was substantial. ONC estimated a total of $60,000,000 available under this opportunity, with an expected four awards. Individual awards were planned to be large, with a floor of $10,000,000 and a ceiling of $18,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for eligible research organizations to apply and allowed proposals to focus on the strength and feasibility of the research plan rather than the applicant’s ability to bring non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broadly aimed at U.S.-based entities with a research mission. This included public or private institutions of higher education, as well as other public or private institutions or organizations that conduct research. In other words, the competition was designed for organizations capable of leading major research initiatives, assembling multidisciplinary teams, and producing outputs with national relevance to health IT adoption and meaningful use.
Key administrative details include a posted date of December 17, 2009, with an application closing date of January 25, 2010 (both the original and current closing date), and an archive date of February 24, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.728 (ARRA Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects).
