Opportunity Summary:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Public Health Reporting by Hospital Laboratories Cooperative Agreement Program (CDC RFA HK10-1002ARRA10) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funding opportunity designed to accelerate hospital laboratory and hospital electronic health record (EHR) interoperability for public health reporting. The core goal is to help hospital labs and their connected hospital EHR systems adopt and correctly implement national health information technology (HIT) standards so that laboratory data can move more reliably and consistently between hospitals and public health agencies, supporting both patient care and population health surveillance.
This program funds one or more organizations, or consortia of organizations, that represent healthcare stakeholders and can provide leadership around the optimal use of HIT, including laboratory systems. These funded entities are referred to as Lab Interoperability Cooperatives (LICs). In practical terms, the LICs function as expert support hubs that deliver hands-on services to hospital laboratories to help them meet federal requirements tied to EHR technology and reporting. The main standards target is the Office of the Secretary Standards and Certification Interim Final Rule (IFR), published January 12, 2010, which lays out an initial set of standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria for EHR technology. In addition, LICs are expected to help hospitals align with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Stage 1 criteria for Meaningful Use under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, especially where lab reporting and public health reporting requirements overlap with Meaningful Use expectations.
Financially, the CDC anticipated making 2 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $2,000,000 (award floor) up to $5,000,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted May 7, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 8, 2010, and it was archived July 8, 2010.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of public and private entities, reflecting the program's emphasis on convening healthcare stakeholders and delivering implementation support at scale. Eligible applicants included nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education under that nonprofit category), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a wide range of governmental and tribal entities. State and local governments and their bona fide agents were eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the CDC required documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government confirming that status.
From an operational standpoint, the program is best understood as capacity-building for nationwide interoperability: rather than funding individual hospitals directly, the CDC used cooperative agreements to fund LICs that could provide coordinated services across multiple hospital laboratories. Those services would be aimed at helping labs and hospitals interpret federal standards, implement the correct technical specifications, and position their systems to support consistent electronic reporting for public health purposes while also enabling hospitals to meet Meaningful Use-related expectations tied to the EHR incentive programs. For technical access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.
