Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this 2009 discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Grants to Support the Hispanic Health Services Research Grant Program," to fund health services research focused on Hispanic American communities served by CMS programs. The overall aim was to strengthen the evidence base around how Medicare, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) serve Hispanic beneficiaries, with an emphasis on practical research that can inform improvements in health care quality, access, and outcomes.
The program was built around several connected goals. CMS wanted to encourage more health services and health disparities researchers to take on questions specifically affecting Hispanic populations within Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP. It also aimed to expand and diversify the applicant pipeline by conducting outreach so that more Hispanic researchers and organizations were aware of the funding and positioned to apply. Beyond generating studies, the grants were intended to support CMS's broader mission of improving care for beneficiaries, while also building research capacity in Hispanic communities through extramural (outside CMS) projects. Another central purpose was to deepen understanding of Hispanic health care service needs and challenges, and to foster an ongoing network that supports communication and collaboration among researchers and stakeholders working on Hispanic health services issues.
In terms of funding details, CMS expected to make two awards under this opportunity. Each award was set at a fixed amount, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $100,000, indicating awards were intended to be $100,000 each. The opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were expected to contribute eligible non-federal resources as part of the project budget, according to the rules described in the full announcement. The funding opportunity number was HHS-2009-CMS-HHS-0005, and it was associated with CFDA 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations).
Eligibility was defined broadly but targeted to people and groups positioned to conduct or support Hispanic-focused health services research. Applicants needed to meet at least one of three criteria. First, they could be a health services or health disparities researcher affiliated with a university or college that offers a Ph.D. or Masters program in relevant disciplines, including allied health, gerontology, health care administration, nursing, pharmacology, public health, public policy, or social work. Second, they could be part of a community-based health organization that includes a Hispanic health services research component. Third, they could be a member of a professional association that focuses on Hispanic health services and health disparities issues. The listing notes that additional eligibility clarification was provided in the full announcement.
