Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this discretionary grant opportunity in 2014 to help Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) carry out health services research and health disparities research. The core aim was to strengthen research that directly relates to CMS programs and the people they serve, especially Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP). In practical terms, the program was designed to fund HBCU-based researchers who are studying how health care is delivered, accessed, and experienced, with an emphasis on improving quality of care and reducing disparities for diverse beneficiary populations, including African American communities.
This funding opportunity, listed as CMS-1I0-14-001 under CFDA 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations), focused on building both evidence and capacity. CMS framed the grant as a way to encourage HBCU researchers to take on questions that matter for federal health coverage programs, while also expanding the number of HBCU investigators who are prepared to participate in CMS-style research, demonstration, and evaluation work. Beyond producing studies, the program also sought to support longer-term development of research infrastructure and expertise at HBCUs, particularly where that work contributes to better understanding of health care services and outcomes affecting African Americans.
CMS laid out several specific goals for the program. These included motivating HBCU health services researchers to pursue topics relevant to Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP; supporting CMSs mission of improving health care quality for beneficiaries; and strengthening extramural research and capacity-building activities that benefit African American communities. CMS also emphasized growing the pool of HBCU researchers who can carry out the kinds of research, demonstrations, and evaluations CMS relies on, and promoting research that deepens understanding of health care services as they relate to African Americans. Another explicit objective was fostering inter-university communication and collaboration around African American health disparity issues, pointing to an interest in networked research efforts rather than isolated projects.
Eligibility was limited to HBCUs that met at least one of three conditions. An institution qualified if it offered a Ph.D. or masters degree program in one or more specified fields (Allied Health, Gerontology, Health Care Administration, Nursing, Pharmacology, Public Health, or Social Work), or if it had a School of Medicine, or if it was a member of the National HBCU Network for Health Services and Health Disparities. The listing notes that the eligible applicant category was described as "Others" with further clarification in the eligibility text, but the substantive requirement was that applicants be qualifying HBCUs under one of those three routes.
The award amount was set at a fixed level, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $200,000, indicating that awards were expected to be issued at that amount rather than across a wide range. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the supported project (the announcement excerpt does not specify the exact match percentage, but it clearly indicates a matching requirement existed).
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on June 19, 2014, with an application closing date of July 22, 2014, and an archive date of August 21, 2014. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726) and support@grants.gov, with 24/7 support except federal holidays.
