About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) funds cooperative agreements and project grants supporting standards development organizations' work on health information interoperability under Assistance Listing 93.831, with the most recent awards disbursed in September 2015.
This program is dormant. No grant awards have been obligated in the past eleven years; the portfolio contains only two awards from 2015—one Cooperative Agreement to develop, implement, and monitor testing and usage of the NCPDP e-prescribing script standard ($252,846) and one Project Grant to enhance HL7's testing infrastructure ($20,000). The most recent grant opportunity (NAP-AX-15-005) posted in June 2015 with an August 30, 2015 due date and has not been updated or reposted since. Combined federal dollars obligated across the program total $273 thousand, split evenly between ONC (which funded the larger award) and the HHS Immediate Office of the Secretary.
The program establishes ongoing collaboration between ONC and Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) to advance standards and interoperability work of mutual interest. Funded activities include developing, testing, and measuring the adoption of technical standards for clinical data exchange (e-prescribing, public health reporting, research, lab ordering and results), standards for transporting clinical health information, and clinical vocabularies, terminologies, and code sets. The program funds how different SDO standards align with one another and mechanisms to track published standards usage.
Eligible applicants are United States-based non-profit institutions or organizations, state or local government agencies or groups. Awards are structured as Cooperative Agreements (with federal partner involvement in the work) or Project Grants. Funding may support sub-recipient arrangements through contracts or subgrants. The program benefits healthcare organizations and patients using electronic health records. Renewals are available if recipients demonstrate progress toward specified goals.
No current grant opportunities are posted.
