Opportunity Summary:

The FY10 National Umbrella Cooperative Agreement Program (NUCA) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health under CFDA 93.004 (Cooperative Agreements to Improve the Health Status of Minority Populations). Its central aim was to show that formal partnerships between federal agencies and national organizations can deliver results efficiently and effectively when tackling persistent health inequities affecting racial and ethnic minority communities. In practice, the program was framed as a national-level “umbrella” effort, meaning awards were intended to support projects with broader reach and significance rather than strictly local, stand-alone interventions.

NUCA focused on five interconnected outcome areas. First, it emphasized improving access to health care for targeted racial and ethnic minority populations, which can include reducing barriers like affordability, availability of services, geographic access, language access, and culturally appropriate care. Second, it prioritized addressing social determinants of health in order to advance health equity, supporting initiatives that look beyond clinical care to the conditions that shape health outcomes, such as education, employment, housing stability, neighborhood safety, and food access. Third, the opportunity explicitly included reducing youth violence, including gang violence, among targeted minority populations, reflecting a recognition that violence is both a public safety issue and a major driver of injury, trauma, disrupted education, and long-term health disparities. Fourth, NUCA sought to increase the diversity of the health-related workforce, supporting efforts that strengthen pathways for underrepresented groups to enter and advance in health professions and related fields. Fifth, it aimed to expand the knowledge base and improve data availability for health disparities and health equity work, reinforcing the idea that better measurement, evaluation, and dissemination are necessary to identify gaps, track progress, and scale what works.

From a funding standpoint, the program anticipated making about 9 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,275,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling). The funding instrument type was a grant, and the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. The activity category was health, consistent with the program’s focus on minority health outcomes and health equity strategies.

The opportunity was posted on July 2, 2010, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of August 2, 2010, and it was archived on September 1, 2010. Eligibility was listed broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement text; however, the summary information provided does not specify detailed eligibility criteria beyond that label. For application access issues, the notice directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, including phone and email support, indicating the standard federal submission pathway and technical assistance channel for the application process.
