Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1H0-10-011) to support the Hispanic Health Services Research Grant Program for 2010. The program was set up to fund small, applied health services research projects focused on Hispanic American communities, with a clear emphasis on practical, solution-oriented work that can help identify, test, and evaluate ways to reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities. CMS framed the need for this research around persistent challenges that affect Hispanic Americans across the health system, including how care is financed, how it is delivered, whether people can access it, the quality of services received, and the barriers that prevent timely and effective care.
The projects CMS was looking for were not basic science studies, but applied health services research that ties directly to real-world systems and outcomes. Applicants were expected to be actively engaged in the full research lifecycle, including the design, implementation, and operation of the proposed study. In practical terms, that means proposals needed to show more than a general interest in Hispanic health; they needed to lay out a concrete research plan aimed at producing evidence that could inform policy, program design, or service delivery improvements relevant to Hispanic communities.
Eligibility was structured to ensure applicants had a health services research base and a direct connection to Hispanic health issues. To qualify, applicants had to fit at least one of three categories: (1) a health services or health disparities researcher at a university or college that offers a Ph.D. or masters degree program in a related discipline (including allied health, gerontology, health care administration, nursing, pharmacology, public health, public policy, or social work), (2) a member of a community-based health organization that includes a Hispanic health services research component, or (3) a member of a professional association that focuses on Hispanic health services and health disparities. Overall, CMS signaled that strong proposals would come from investigators and organizations positioned to connect research activities to community needs and health system realities.
The funding structure was straightforward: the award floor and award ceiling were both listed as $100,000, indicating that awards were intended to be made at a fixed amount of $100,000 per project. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources in support of the project as part of the overall budget approach. The opportunity was posted on April 16, 2010, with an application closing date of June 24, 2010, and an archive date of July 24, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with this program was 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations).
CMS also connected the grant program to a broader federal strategy aimed at improving outcomes for Hispanic Americans, referencing the Presidents Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans and a Presidential Executive Order calling for coordinated, interagency action to promote high-quality services and participation for Hispanic Americans. While much of that context is education-oriented, CMS highlighted that the Executive Order also spans health-related actions such as health services research, conferences, service delivery, data collection, and improving customer service capabilities for Hispanic populations. Within that broader framework, this grant program was presented as one concrete mechanism to increase participation, promotion, and professional development for investigators focused on Hispanic health disparities, while generating evidence that could help agencies and stakeholders implement more effective solutions.
