Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally facilitated and State Partnership Marketplaces" (Funding Opportunity Number CA-NAV-15-001), was a discretionary funding announcement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), specifically under the CMS Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight office. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means CMS expected to have an active role in guiding or collaborating with awardees as they carried out the work, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal involvement. The program falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.332.
At a high level, the purpose of the opportunity was to support Navigator efforts connected to the Affordable Care Act's Health Insurance Marketplaces, including the Federally facilitated Marketplace and State Partnership Marketplaces. The underlying policy goal described in the announcement is rooted in the Affordable Care Act's broader aims: improving accountability, affordability, quality, and access across the health care system. The Marketplaces (also referred to as Affordable Insurance Exchanges) were designed as a centralized place where consumers and small employers could more easily compare health coverage options, choose a plan, and enroll in coverage, with clearer information than what many people experienced in the pre-ACA individual insurance market.
The description emphasizes what the Marketplace infrastructure is meant to do for consumers, because that context drives why Navigator support matters. Marketplaces allow individuals, employers, and employees to shop for and enroll in qualified health plans (QHPs). They also serve as an entry point for determining whether an individual is eligible for financial help that can make coverage more affordable, specifically premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions. In addition, the Marketplaces connect people to other public coverage programs when appropriate, including Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The "one stop shopping" concept is highlighted as a core feature, intended to simplify a process that has historically been confusing and time-consuming, and to give eligible individuals and small employers more control and more choices when selecting coverage.
From the administrative details provided, the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning it was broadly open to applicants, although the notice notes that additional eligibility rules or clarifications could be included in the full funding opportunity announcement text. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as 0 in the dataset excerpt, which usually indicates that specific dollar amounts were not captured in that particular summary record and that applicants would need to consult the full announcement for actual funding levels, anticipated award sizes, and the expected number of awards.
The timeline information shows the opportunity was posted and created on April 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 15, 2015. The application deadline is specified as June 15, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and the archive date was July 16, 2015, indicating the announcement was later moved into an archived status after the application window closed.
For applicants or anyone trying to access the full documentation, the listing points to an additional information link titled the same as the opportunity, and it provides Grants.gov support contact details for technical access issues. The contact pathway given is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, available 24/7 except federal holidays) and the email address support@grants.gov, which suggests that the primary application and document access channel was Grants.gov.
