Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Measuring Progress Regarding Interoperability through Individuals Access and Use of their Electronic Health Data" is a small, targeted cooperative agreement sponsored by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). Its main purpose is to strengthen how the federal government measures and reports real-world progress on interoperability by focusing specifically on whether individuals can access and actually use their electronic health information. Rather than building new technology, the project centers on developing and fielding survey questions that can capture how patients interact with their health data, then translating those results into clear public-facing products that ONC can use to track trends over time and inform policy.
The work is structured as a collaborative effort among ONC, the National Partnership (the intended partner referenced in the description), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) through the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). The National Partnership would work directly with ONC to identify relevant survey items from earlier ONC and National Partnership surveys, refine them, and develop new questions where gaps exist. Those items would then be incorporated into HINTS, which NCI would administer. After data collection is complete and results become available, the National Partnership would help review and interpret findings with ONC and assist in producing written deliverables such as data briefs and similar reporting materials. A final major component is dissemination: using established communication channels like webinars, blog posts, and social media to broaden awareness of the findings and ensure stakeholders can use the information.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project rather than a hands-off grant. It falls under the health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.857 (focused on measuring interoperability progress through individuals access and use of electronic health data). The expected number of awards is one, and the funding level is fixed: an estimated total of $50,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $50,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted July 16, 2015, created July 17, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2015, and an archive date of October 16, 2015.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility information, though the listing itself provides no detailed eligibility criteria beyond that. For applicant support, the notice directs technical access issues to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays. Overall, this award is best understood as a focused measurement and communications project: strengthening national survey instrumentation on patient access and use of electronic health information, producing interpretable outputs for ONC, and actively distributing results to encourage use by policymakers, researchers, and the broader health community.

Is this grant meant to build or deploy new technology?
No. The description emphasizes measurement and reporting work (developing and fielding survey questions and producing public-facing products), rather than building new technology.
What is the core work supported by this award?
The core work centers on developing, refining, and fielding survey questions that capture how patients access and use their electronic health data, and translating results into clear public-facing deliverables that ONC can use to track trends over time and inform policy.
How will patient access and use of electronic health data be measured?
Measurement is intended to occur through survey questions developed/refined for inclusion in the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), which would then be administered to collect data.
Which organizations are expected to collaborate on this work?
