About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response is forecasting funding for one demonstration project under the Partnership for Disaster Health Response System, a cooperative agreement mechanism that will model a tiered regional disaster health response architecture. This is a restricted-eligibility opportunity: only the 62 existing Hospital Preparedness Program awardees are eligible, including health departments in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Chicago, Los Angeles County, New York City, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands.
The demonstration project will identify implementation issues, develop leading practices, and test the viability of the Regional Disaster Health Response System (RDHRS) concept. The RDHRS builds upon the existing Medical Surge Capacity and Capability foundation by enhancing state and regional coordination mechanisms and integrating discrete clinical and administrative capabilities. The system is designed to activate when catastrophic events exceed existing patient referral patterns and health care delivery capacity, enabling patient redistribution, resource importation, or clinical resource utilization guidelines. The RDHRS will not alter current local referral patterns but will integrate healthcare expertise into disaster preparedness and response structures.
The project period is five years with 12-month budget cycles. This opportunity is assigned to CFDA 93.817 (Hospital Preparedness Program—Ebola Preparedness and Response Activities). The source material does not specify an award ceiling, floor, expected number of additional awards, or application deadline date.
Forecast synopsis
Funding for one demonstration project that will help identify issues, develop leading practices, and demonstrate the potential effectiveness and viability of the RDHRS concept. The RDHRS structure is conceptualized as a tiered system that builds upon the existing Medical Surge Capacity and Capability (MSCC) foundation for local medical response (e.g., trauma systems and HCCs) by enhancing coordination mechanisms and incorporating discrete clinical and administrative capabilities at the state and regional levels. The RDHRS is not intended to alter or displace current local patient referral patterns, but is instead intended to define the delivery of clinical care when the existing referral patterns and health care delivery capacity and capabilities are exceeded by catastrophic events (requiring either redistribution of patients, importation of resources, or resource utilization guidelines). Additionally, the RDHRS is intended to provide additional health care integration and expertise into preparedness and response structures.
