Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this discretionary grant opportunity in 2014 under the Hispanic Health Services Research Grant Program to support health services research that directly addresses the needs of Hispanic communities served by CMS programs. The funding is intended to help researchers study real-world health care delivery, access, quality, and disparities issues affecting Hispanic beneficiaries in Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP). At its core, the program is meant to expand knowledge about how health services work for Hispanic populations and to generate research that can inform improvements in care and outcomes for CMS beneficiaries.
The program lays out several connected goals. It aims to encourage more health services and health disparities researchers to focus on questions that matter for Hispanic beneficiaries across Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. It also emphasizes outreach to make sure Hispanic researchers and researchers working closely with Hispanic communities are aware of the funding and encouraged to apply, with the broader intent of increasing the number and diversity of applicants in this research area. Another major objective is to support CMSs mission around health care quality and improvement by producing evidence CMS can use when considering policy, program operations, and beneficiary-focused interventions. In addition, CMS highlights capacity development, meaning the grant is not only about producing a single research product but also about strengthening the ability of Hispanic-serving institutions and community-linked organizations to conduct strong, relevant research. Finally, the program explicitly seeks to build a network for communication and collaboration around Hispanic health care issues, encouraging relationships among researchers, community organizations, and professional groups working on these topics.
The opportunity was listed under Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1H0-14-001, with the activity category labeled Health and the CFDA number 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations). CMS structured the award as a grant with a required cost sharing or matching component, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources or documented match as part of the projects financing plan. The award amount was fixed rather than variable, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $200,000, meaning selected applicants would receive $200,000 under the terms of the announcement.
Eligibility was defined broadly but with specific qualifying pathways. Applicants needed to meet at least one of three requirements: first, being a health services or health disparities researcher at a university or college that offers a Ph.D. or masters degree program in one or more specified disciplines (allied health, gerontology, health care administration, nursing, pharmacology, public health, or social work). Second, being part of a community-based health organization that includes a Hispanic health services research component. Third, being a member of a professional association that focuses on Hispanic health services and health disparities issues. This structure signals that CMS wanted participation from academic researchers as well as practice- and community-grounded organizations and associations that can keep research connected to on-the-ground needs in Hispanic communities.
Key administrative dates show it was a time-limited 2014 opportunity. The posting and creation dates were June 19, 2014, and the application deadline was July 21, 2014, with the funding notice later archived on August 20, 2014. For access or technical issues with the full announcement, CMS directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which provides 24/7 support except on federal holidays.
