Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this Fiscal Year 2010 grant opportunity to strengthen Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as leaders in health services research focused on eliminating health disparities affecting African Americans. The program sought competitive proposals for small, applied research projects that do more than describe disparities; they should identify and test practical solutions tied to real-world health system challenges. A second major purpose was capacity building: CMS wanted projects that help HBCUs expand their ability to compete successfully for future CMS research and program funding by deepening experience with federal research design, execution, and project management.
The research emphasis centered on health services topics that shape outcomes and equity in everyday care, particularly issues relevant to Medicare and Medicaid populations. CMS highlighted areas such as health care financing, service delivery models, access to care, quality of care, and structural or practical barriers that disproportionately affect the African American community. The expectation was that HBCU investigators and institutions would be meaningfully involved across the full research lifecycle, including study design, implementation, data collection and analysis, and operational decision-making. CMS explicitly framed HBCUs as uniquely positioned to do this work because of their expertise, community knowledge, credibility, and sensitivity to the lived realities behind disparities, which CMS viewed as essential to advancing national, state, and local efforts to reduce inequities.
This grant program also aligned with broader federal policy priorities under the White House Initiative on HBCUs and the related Executive Order promoting excellence, innovation, and sustainability at HBCUs. In that context, the opportunity functioned as one CMS strategy to increase HBCU participation in federal programs, strengthen institutional capacity to win grants and cooperative agreements, and support the professional development of HBCU investigators in health services research, health disparities research, and health equity research. The program also reflects the kind of agency planning encouraged by the Presidents Board of Advisors on HBCUs, which emphasizes building educational and research capacity through targeted federal engagement.
Key administrative details were straightforward. The funding opportunity number was CMS-1I0-10-011, categorized as a discretionary grant under the health activity area, and linked to CFDA 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations). The posted date was April 16, 2010, with an application closing date of June 22, 2010, and an archive date of July 22, 2010. The award amount was fixed at 100,000 dollars, listed as both the floor and the ceiling, and the program required cost sharing or matching.
Eligibility was limited to HBCUs that met at least one of three criteria. An institution could qualify by offering a Ph.D. or masters program in one or more specified disciplines (Allied Health, Gerontology, Health Care Administration, Nursing, Pharmacology, Public Health, Public Policy, or Social Work), by having a School of Medicine, or by being a member of the National HBCU Network for Health Services and Health Disparities.
