Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Directed Source Award (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ONC EV 001) is a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The opportunity focuses on advancing practical knowledge about health information technology, especially the real-world operation of health information exchanges (HIEs). The underlying premise is that effective health IT and secure information sharing can improve care quality, reduce medical errors, streamline workflows, cut unnecessary costs, reduce paperwork, and support broader population health goals. In line with national efforts to achieve a nationwide, interoperable, and privacy-protecting electronic health information system, this award is meant to produce evidence that can help providers and policymakers better understand what makes HIEs succeed financially and operationally.
The funded project is designed as a research and evaluation effort centered on how HIE implementation is funded, adopted, and used across different provider organizations. A major emphasis is on understanding provider usage patterns over time and translating those patterns into measurable financial and operational impacts. Using data from an existing, innovative military and private-sector provider HIE partnership as the primary source, and comparing it with other existing partnerships, the project aims to calculate return on investment (ROI) measures and document evidence-based practices. A key deliverable theme is practical guidance: recommendations around sustainable funding approaches, user pricing, and usage-based financing strategies that can encourage broader participation while also supporting quality and cost-efficiency outcomes.
The work is to be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of university-based business analysts operating through the University of West Florida (UWF), specifically the Haas Center for Business Research and Economic Development. The project will examine a local HIE program implementation in depth, with the intent of producing insights into interoperability challenges, system integration approaches, and the operational realities of exchanging electronic health records (EHRs) across disparate platforms. While grounded in a specific partnership and local implementation, the goal is to generate findings that can be applied more broadly to other regions and provider networks attempting to build or scale HIE capabilities.
This is a directed source award, meaning eligibility is limited to a specific applicant: the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida. The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under a health-related funding activity, with the CFDA number 93.239 (Policy Research and Evaluation Grants). The announcement anticipates a single award, and the funding level is fixed: an award floor and ceiling of $400,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on July 20, 2010, with an application closing date of August 19, 2010.
