Opportunity Summary:
The Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-16-019) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS-HRSA). It is designed to support quality improvement efforts among small health care providers by offering multi-year grant funding, with the goal of helping recipients strengthen the delivery of care through structured improvement activities. The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.912.
For funding, HRSA projected that about $4,150,000 would be available each year across federal fiscal years 2016 through 2019, with enough resources to make up to 21 awards annually. Individual applicants could request up to $200,000 per year. While the notice describes expected annual availability, it also makes clear that the program is contingent on Congressional appropriations. In other words, the agency issued the announcement so applications could be reviewed and awards could be made quickly if and when funding was ultimately provided for this purpose.
The project period is three years. However, only the first year of funding is initially awarded, and continuation into years two and three is not automatic. Continued support depends on three main factors: whether funds are appropriated for the program in later fiscal years, whether the recipient demonstrates satisfactory performance, and whether HRSA determines that continued funding remains in the federal government’s best interest.
From a compliance and administration standpoint, the announcement emphasizes that awards are governed by the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Specifically, as of December 26, 2014, requirements under 2 CFR 200 as adopted by HHS at 45 CFR 75 apply to this funding. These rules replace older federal grant administrative and audit standards and establish expectations for financial management, procurement, allowable costs, reporting, and audit responsibilities.
Key administrative details include that the opportunity was posted and created on January 4, 2016, with an application closing date of March 4, 2016. The funding instrument is a grant. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,†with the expectation that applicants would consult the announcement’s eligibility section for clarification on which types of organizations qualify.
