Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered this Fiscal Year 2011 discretionary grant opportunity to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in conducting small, applied health services research projects focused on eliminating health disparities affecting the African American population. The central idea was to fund practical research that not only studies disparities, but also identifies and evaluates real-world solutions tied to how health care is financed, delivered, accessed, and measured for quality, along with the barriers that contribute to unequal outcomes. CMS framed HBCUs as essential partners in this work because HBCU investigators often bring long-standing community knowledge, credibility, and cultural insight that can strengthen research design and implementation and help translate findings into action at national, state, and local levels.
A key purpose of the program was capacity building. Beyond producing research findings, projects were expected to strengthen an HBCU's ability to compete successfully for future CMS research and program funding. In practice, that means the work should help institutions build experience with CMS-relevant topics and methods, improve research infrastructure and project management capabilities, and support the professional development and visibility of HBCU investigators working in health services research, health disparities, and health equity.
The funding mechanism was a grant, with a required cost sharing or matching component. CMS anticipated making about five awards. The award amount was set at a fixed level, with both the floor and the ceiling listed as $100,000, signaling that funded projects were intended to be modest in scope but tightly focused and feasible. The opportunity fell under the Health funding activity category and was tied to CFDA 93.779 (CMS Research, Demonstrations and Evaluations).
Eligibility was limited to HBCUs that met at least one of three qualifying conditions. An applicant institution needed to either (1) offer a Ph.D. or master's degree program in one or more specified disciplines, including Allied Health, Gerontology, Health Care Administration, Health Management, Nursing, Pharmacology, Public Health, Public Policy, or Social Work; (2) have a School of Medicine; or (3) be a member of the National HBCU Network for Health Services and Health Disparities. These requirements were designed to ensure that applicants had an academic or institutional foundation to carry out health services research and to build longer-term research capacity.
CMS also positioned the program as part of broader federal priorities to strengthen HBCUs, explicitly aligning it with the Executive Order connected to the White House Initiative on HBCUs and the goals of promoting excellence, innovation, and sustainability. In that context, the grant program supported the federal objective of increasing HBCU participation in federal funding opportunities, identifying areas where HBCUs may be underutilized as national resources, and encouraging collaboration across public, private, and community partners to improve institutional capacity.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2011, with an application deadline of June 21, 2011, and an archive date of July 21, 2011. The official funding opportunity number was CMS-1I0-11-001, titled "Grants to Support the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Health Services."
