Opportunity Summary:
The CHILDRENS HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT (CHIPRA) OUTREACH AND ENROLLMENT GRANTS CYCLE I opportunity is a discretionary grant program from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It was created in response to the Childrens Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), signed into law on February 4, 2009 (Public Law 111-3). CHIPRA extended funding for the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through federal fiscal year 2013 and provided about 35 billion in additional federal funds intended to help states sustain their CHIP programs while also expanding enrollment in both Medicaid and CHIP. A major theme of the law, and the grant competition, is closing the gap between eligibility and actual coverage by finding children who qualify but remain uninsured and then helping them get enrolled.
The purpose of Cycle I is to fund targeted outreach and enrollment activities that measurably increase participation in Medicaid and CHIP among eligible but unenrolled children. The program places particular emphasis on reaching children and families who are traditionally harder to connect with and enroll, meaning populations that face barriers such as limited awareness of benefits, language and literacy challenges, geographic isolation, unstable housing, distrust of institutions, complicated paperwork processes, or limited access to enrollment assistance. In practical terms, the grants are meant to support on-the-ground strategies like community-based enrollment assistance, culturally and linguistically appropriate outreach, partnerships with trusted local organizations, and efforts that reduce friction in the sign-up process for families who may otherwise not complete enrollment.
Funding for this initiative totals 80 million dollars across two or more award cycles, with Cycle I being the first round. For this specific announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-CMS-CHIPRA-0008), CMS anticipated making up to 200 awards. Individual grant sizes ranged from a floor of 25,000 dollars to a ceiling of 1,000,000 dollars. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier for smaller organizations and local partnerships to apply. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 93.767 (Childrens Health Insurance Program), and the activity category is health.
Eligibility is broad and intentionally designed to allow many different kinds of organizations to lead or participate, including coalitions. Eligible applicants include states and local governments, Indian tribes and tribal consortia, tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations receiving funds under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, and Indian Health Service providers. It also includes federal health safety-net organizations and a wide range of public or nonprofit private organizations at the national, state, local, or community level, explicitly including organizations that use community health workers or community-based doula programs. Schools are also eligible, including elementary and secondary schools, recognizing that schools are often one of the most reliable touchpoints for reaching uninsured children. Faith-based organizations and consortia may apply as well, as long as any award and activities comply with the requirements referenced in section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act regarding grants to nongovernmental entities. Overall, the eligibility language signals that CMS wanted applicants that already have credibility and access within communities and can realistically identify uninsured children and help families move from outreach to completed enrollment.
Key administrative details include a posted date of July 2, 2009, with an application closing date of August 6, 2009, and an archive date of September 5, 2009. The public announcement points applicants to CMS program information through the listed web link, and it provides a dedicated email contact (CHIPRAOutreachGrants@cms.hhs.gov) for organizations that have trouble accessing the full announcement or need assistance related to the grant materials.
