Opportunity Summary:
The Frontier Community Health Integration Project (FCHIP) Technical Assistance, Tracking, and Analysis opportunity (HRSA-14-137) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to support the Frontier Community Health Integration Project Demonstration. The central goal is to help frontier and other sparsely populated communities test and refine practical approaches to health care delivery, reimbursement, and care coordination where distance, limited workforce, and low patient volume make traditional health system models difficult to sustain. Rather than directly funding clinical services, this award focuses on the hands-on technical support and analytic work needed to help participating providers implement the demonstration and document what works.
Under this cooperative agreement, the awardee is expected to provide technical assistance and site implementation support to FCHIP demonstration participants. This includes helping providers plan and execute new or adjusted models of care, understand and navigate reimbursement issues, and strengthen coordination across local and distant partners. A significant portion of the work is also devoted to tracking, performance monitoring, and analysis so that changes in efficiency, quality, and outcomes can be measured and interpreted in a frontier context. In practice, this means developing and supporting performance plans, advising on quality measurement approaches that are feasible in very low-volume settings, and assisting providers in reporting and using data to drive improvement.
HRSA makes clear that applicants must bring deep, specific expertise in rural and frontier health policy and systems. The principal investigator is expected to have at least five years of work experience directly related to rural and frontier health system research and policy analysis. The applicant organization should demonstrate strong capabilities in hospital finance and quality measurement, with proven experience working directly with rural and frontier providers to build and implement performance and improvement plans that target both cost efficiency and quality of care. HRSA emphasizes knowledge of reimbursement mechanisms relevant to rural providers, especially Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), and calls out particular service areas where this expertise is important: home health care, hospital-based nursing facility care, telemedicine services, and ambulance services. Applicants are also expected to understand the real-world constraints of quality improvement and outcomes reporting in isolated areas, and to have the capacity to help demonstration sites build effective relationships with both local and distant providers to better coordinate and integrate care.
The program was posted on May 8, 2014, with an application deadline of June 19, 2014, and an archive date of August 18, 2014. HRSA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more involved federal role in guiding or collaborating on the project compared to a standard grant.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type but narrow in terms of required expertise. Eligible applicants include public, private, and nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations), federally recognized Indian tribal governments and organizations, and a wide range of government entities (state, county, city or township, and special district governments). For-profit organizations (including small businesses) and certain tribal organizations are also listed among eligible categories. Even with this broad eligibility, HRSA expects applicants to demonstrate substantial, specialized capacity and a strong track record working with rural and frontier providers on the financial, operational, and quality challenges that are unique to these settings.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers) and sits within HRSA's broader rural health agenda. Questions or access issues were directed to the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, 877-464-4772).
