Opportunity Summary:
The FY11 United States-Mexico Border Health Commission (USMBHC) Border Health Improvement Initiative was a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.018, "Strengthening Public Health Services at the Outreach Offices of the U.S.-Mexico Border Health Commission." It was administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and focused on improving health outcomes and quality of life in the U.S.-Mexico border region by strengthening coordinated, binational public health action. The program was built around the USMBHC's role as a formal binational body that includes the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mexico's Secretary of Health, the chief health officers from the ten border states (including the four U.S. border states), and other prominent health professionals from both countries. This structure positions the Commission to convene leadership across jurisdictions and align efforts that would be difficult for any single agency to accomplish alone.
The initiative emphasized long-term, organized attention to border health issues, especially the kind that can persist across changes in political leadership. A major aim was to institutionalize a domestic focus on border health so that planning and response capacity would remain stable over time. The opportunity also highlighted the need for ongoing investigation and monitoring of health problems affecting border populations, encouraging research, studies, and evaluations that can identify emerging issues, track trends, and assess the effectiveness of interventions. Another key objective was to support binational public-private collaborations to build comprehensive, coordinated systems for collecting and monitoring health data in border areas, with an explicit emphasis on using advanced technologies as much as possible. In addition, the Commission sought to act as a catalyst, bringing together public agencies, private entities, and nonprofit organizations to prevent or resolve border health problems and to educate communities about those issues.
Funding was structured with an expected four awards, and the opportunity listed an award ceiling and floor of $1,300,000, indicating a set award amount per recipient rather than a competitive range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 8, 2011, with an application closing date of July 8, 2011, and it was archived on August 7, 2011. Applicants were directed to the full announcement for specific submission requirements and deadlines.
Eligibility was limited and highly specific: this was a single-eligibility cooperative agreement available only to the border health offices within the state health agencies of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas (Arizona Department of Health Services/Office of Border Health; California Department of Public Health/California Office of Binational Border Health; New Mexico Department of Health/Office of Border Health; and Texas Department of State Health Services/Office of Border Health). The rationale for restricting eligibility was continuity and effectiveness: these four offices already had extensive experience working with the USMBHC, long-standing working relationships across the border through corresponding outreach offices in Mexico, and a formal role envisioned by the Commission's establishing legislation. In practice, they function as support components and conduits for distributing information and implementing USMBHC priorities within each U.S. border region, making them central to maintaining consistent binational coordination and ensuring public health efforts across the border remain productive and aligned.
For applicants and stakeholders needing assistance accessing or submitting materials, the listing pointed to the Grants.gov Contact Center for technical support, providing phone hours and an email address.
