Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1H0-11-001; CFDA 93.779) to support the Hispanic Health Services Research Grant Program for 2011. The purpose was to fund small, applied health services research projects that identify and test practical solutions to reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities affecting Hispanic communities. CMS was looking for research that directly engages with real-world health system problems, especially those tied to how care is financed and delivered, who can access services, the quality of care people receive, and the barriers that disproportionately affect Hispanics.
This program emphasized hands-on, solution-oriented work rather than purely theoretical research. Applicants were expected to be actively involved in designing, implementing, and operating their proposed studies, with a clear focus on generating findings that can inform policy, programs, and service delivery. The underlying rationale CMS highlighted is that persistent disparities create serious health consequences for Hispanics, and targeted health services research is a key tool for understanding what works, what does not, and what can be improved in systems that serve Hispanic patients and families.
Eligibility was limited to investigators connected to organizations with credible health services research capacity related to Hispanic health and disparities. Applicants had to qualify under one of three pathways: (1) be a health services or disparities researcher at a university or college that offers a Ph.D. or Masters program in an eligible discipline such as allied health, gerontology, health care administration/management, nursing, pharmacology, public health, public policy, or social work; (2) be part of a community-based health organization that includes a Hispanic health services research component; or (3) be affiliated with a professional association focused on Hispanic health services and health disparities. In other words, the program targeted researchers and institutions positioned to carry out applied projects with relevance to Hispanic health outcomes and system performance.
CMS anticipated making about five awards, with each award set at a fixed level of $100,000 (both the floor and the ceiling were listed as $100,000). The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning awardees were expected to contribute non-federal resources to support the project. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was health.
The announcement also connected the grant program to the broader federal policy context of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. While that initiative is education-centered, CMS framed this research program as aligned with an interagency approach that promotes improved outcomes for Hispanics through coordinated federal efforts. The description referenced the initiative's emphasis on strengthening services, improving data collection, enhancing customer service capabilities for Hispanics, convening conferences, and building systems for monitoring accountability across agencies. Within that larger framework, CMS positioned this grant program as one practical strategy for increasing participation, visibility, and professional development for investigators focused on Hispanic health services research.
Key dates in the listing included a posted and creation date of May 16, 2011, with an application closing date of June 23, 2011, and an archive date of July 23, 2011. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the notice directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726; support@grants.gov) during standard weekday hours.
