About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded activities supporting meaningful use of electronic health records and two-way communications between clinicians and public health entities under CFDA 93.729, with the most recent grant award disbursed on January 31, 2011.
This program is inactive. The CDC awarded 23 cooperative agreements totaling $24 million between July 2010 and January 2011, concentrated heavily in the final quarter of 2010. No grant awards have been disbursed in the past 15 years. The program was an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) initiative designed to fund interoperability projects between electronic health record systems and immunization information systems at state and local levels.
All 23 awards were structured as cooperative agreements, funding projects that enhanced interoperability between EHR and immunization information systems in state health departments. Representative awards included $4.9 million to support standard and reusable solutions for hospital laboratory public health programs, $1.5 million to Idaho for interoperability between electronic medical records and its immunization system, $1.4 million to Minnesota for electronic health records integration with the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection, and $2 million for laboratory technical implementation assistance for public health cooperative agreements. A second group of awards funded emergency preparedness IT coordination, labeled "ARRA IT ELC," at values ranging from roughly $250 thousand to $600 thousand per award. Individual cooperative agreement values ranged from approximately $253 thousand to $4.9 million.
No grant opportunities have been posted recently under this Assistance Listing. The program's funding exhausted its ARRA appropriation and has not issued new solicitations since 2010. Organizations pursuing federal funding for EHR interoperability or public health IT integration should evaluate successor programs in CDC's current portfolio.
