Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2009 Congressional Earmarks (CEA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 CMS CEA 0007) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under CFDA 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations). The defining feature of this opportunity is that it is made up of congressional earmark funds, meaning Congress directed the funding in legislation or accompanying report language in a way that identifies recipients and/or locations, and therefore bypasses the usual merit-based, open competitive review process. In practical terms, CMS is not using this announcement to solicit broad proposals from the field; it is using it to collect formal applications from a pre-selected set of entities that Congress has already named.
The total funding available for FY 2009 under this announcement is $4,542,000, with eighteen (18) awards expected. Individual award amounts are anticipated to range from a floor of $95,000 to a ceiling of $666,000. CMS listed an anticipated award date of August 3, 2009, and a period of performance running from August 3, 2009 through January 30, 2011, for an 18-month project period. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity indicates that cost sharing or matching is required (the announcement does not provide the specific match structure in the text provided, so applicants would need to confirm the exact requirements in the full notice or in CMS instructions).
Eligibility is the most restrictive part of this announcement. It is explicitly labeled “For Restricted Applicants Only” and “Non-Competitive Funding Opportunity.” Only organizations that were identified and specifically designated by Congress are allowed to apply, and the announcement states that it exists solely to gather formal applications from those entities. CMS also notes that the designated organizations will receive official notification directly from the agency. Any application submitted by an organization that is not on the pre-identified list will not be considered, regardless of programmatic fit or qualifications.
The designated organizations named in the announcement are: Bedford Ride (Bedford, VA); Bi-State Primary Care Association (Concord, NH) with two earmarks referenced; Bi-State Primary Care Association (Montpelier, VT); Bucks County Health Improvement Partnership (Langhorne, PA); City of Milwaukee (Milwaukee, WI); Health Improvement Partnership of Santa Cruz County (Scotts Valley, CA); Hope Through Housing Foundation (Rancho Cucamonga, CA); Hospice Foundation of America (Washington, DC); MAGNET, Inc. (Cleveland, OH); Maryland Disability Law Center (Baltimore, MD); Maternity Care Coalition (Philadelphia, PA); Medical Foundation of Chattanooga (Chattanooga, TN); Medicare Chronic Care Practice Research Network (Sioux Falls, SD); Medicare Rights Center (New York, NY); Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged (Miami, FL); Patient Advocate Foundation (Newport News, VA); and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (Pittsburgh, PA). The notice also clarifies that if an organization already has an existing CMS Earmark grant and is designated to receive additional FY 2009 funds, those funds will be issued as continuation funding on the existing project rather than as an entirely new standalone award.
Key dates included a posted date of April 2, 2009, and an application deadline of May 26, 2009 (with the announcement later archived on June 25, 2009). For additional details, CMS pointed applicants to its grant opportunities page, and provided a point of contact for access issues: Frederick F. Filberg (Frederick.Filberg@cms.hhs.gov).
