Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Emergency Care Delivery in the United States Healthcare System through Health Information and Promotion" (Funding Opportunity Number: EP HIT 12 001) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). Its purpose was to use health information and policy-focused publishing as a way to improve how emergency care is organized and delivered across the United States, with a particular emphasis on readiness for public health emergencies and disasters. Rather than funding direct clinical services or infrastructure, the program focused on shaping national dialogue and informing decision-makers by supporting the development of a targeted Health Affairs publication.

A central feature of the opportunity was a cooperative agreement with Project HOPE, the publisher of Health Affairs. Under this arrangement, the funded recipient would work in coordination with the federal government to plan and produce a thematic issue of Health Affairs devoted to emergency care delivery. The goal of this themed issue was to identify major challenges in emergency care, explore evidence and real-world experiences, and propose policy options aimed at building a regionalized, coordinated, and accountable emergency care system. The issue was expected to address how emergency care can be more fully integrated into the broader U.S. healthcare system, rather than operating as a disconnected set of services, and how that integration can improve routine care as well as surge capacity during disasters.

The opportunity was categorized under the funding activity area of Disaster Prevention and Relief (CFDA 93.078) and anticipated a single award. Total estimated funding was $50,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $50,000, meaning the program intended to fund one recipient at a fixed amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility details in the full announcement, though the summary text provided does not specify further eligibility constraints.

In terms of timing, the announcement was posted on July 27, 2012, created on July 25, 2012, and had an application deadline of August 30, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on September 29, 2012. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which provides 24/7 support (excluding federal holidays) via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov.

Overall, this funding opportunity was designed as a targeted, publication-driven policy initiative: by commissioning and organizing a high-visibility thematic issue in a leading health policy journal, ASPR sought to promote actionable policy thinking around creating a more coordinated emergency care system capable of responding effectively not only to everyday urgent and emergent medical needs, but also to large-scale public health crises and disasters.
