Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Best Practices opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EP HIT 13 004) was a discretionary, sole-source cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). It was built around the National Health Security Strategy (NHSS), specifically objective 8.3 and sub-objective 8.3.1, with the central purpose of continuously improving how recovery is planned, tracked, and evaluated after emergencies and disasters. In practical terms, the grant focused on strengthening recovery by developing or refining data elements that can measure recovery progress, the quality of recovery activities, and the outcomes those activities produce. The opportunity also aligned with the HHS Strategic Plan, Objective 3F, emphasizing protection of public health and safety during emergencies and building resilience for effective response and recovery.
Structurally, the award was set up as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the funded work beyond what is common in a standard grant. The announcement indicated there would be a single expected award, reflecting its sole-source nature, and eligibility was likewise described as sole source under an "Other" applicant category. The funding level was fixed rather than a range: both the award floor and award ceiling were listed as $300,000, signaling that the intended project scope and budget were predetermined. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the recipient would need to contribute some portion of project resources in addition to federal funds.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on September 20, 2013, with an extremely short application window. Applications were due by September 24, 2013, no later than 12:00 noon Eastern Time, and the listing was archived on October 24, 2013. The program was associated with CFDA number 93.081 (ASPR Science Preparedness and Response Grants). For access issues with the announcement or electronic submission, the listed support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays.
Overall, the grant can be understood as a targeted federal investment aimed at improving national recovery practice by making recovery more measurable and evidence-driven. By prioritizing standardized or improved recovery metrics and evaluation approaches, the funding sought to help ensure that recovery efforts are not only implemented, but also tracked in a way that supports learning, continuous improvement, and stronger resilience outcomes over time.
