About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary funds state-based credential verification systems for volunteer health professionals responding to public health emergencies under the Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals program (CFDA 93.089), with the most recent grant award issued on September 30, 2011.
This program has not disbursed new awards in over 14 years. The portfolio shows a sharp decline in activity: 27 awards in 2009, 25 in 2010, and only 3 in 2011. No recent grant opportunities are documented in the source.
The program funds the establishment and maintenance of state and territorial interoperable networks that verify credentials, certifications, licenses, relevant training, and hospital privileges of health care volunteers for emergency deployment. Recipients include state health departments of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles County, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands.
All 55 documented awards (100 percent) are Project Grants, funded entirely by HHS Immediate Office of the Secretary at a combined federal obligation of $13.2 million. Recent awards ranged from approximately $19 thousand to $674 thousand. Representative recent awards include North Carolina's ESAR-VHP program ($302,769 obligated, September 2011), Kentucky's ESAR-VHP system ($268,451, September 2011), and New York State's ESAR-VHP program ($588,455, September 2010). Funding covered up to 36-month project periods with 12-month budget periods.
This program appears dormant. The extended funding hiatus since 2011 and absence of recent solicitation opportunities suggest this line is not currently accepting applications.
