About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) funds development of consumer survey questions measuring individuals' access to and use of electronic health information through the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), CFDA 93.857, with the most recent grant award dated September 18, 2015.

This program operates as a non-competitive cooperative agreement awarded specifically to the National Partnership for Women & Families (NPWF) to collaborate with ONC in developing and incorporating survey items into the National Cancer Institute's HINTS survey. Once NCI administers the survey, NPWF reviews results and assists ONC in producing data briefs and disseminating findings through webinars, blog posts, and social media. The program's stated beneficiaries include all health care organizations and patients using electronic health records, though the actual funding mechanism has been limited to the single cooperative agreement with NPWF. Grant opportunities solicited are restricted to applicant types designated as "Other," limiting pursuit to highly specialized entities.

The program shows no recent grant activity. A single cooperative agreement (90AX0007) for $25 thousand was awarded on September 18, 2015, with ultimate completion in September 2018. The portfolio reports zero awards in subsequent years, and no grant opportunities have been posted since March 2018 (a test solicitation). The most recent substantive opportunity (NAP-AX-15-007) closed on September 16, 2015, and resulted in the sole recent award to NPWF.

The program is structured as 100 percent Cooperative Agreements funded entirely by the Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary. Combined federal dollars obligated total only $25 thousand. Funding levels and award frequency are consistent with a narrow, single-recipient collaborative arrangement rather than an open competitive process. Given the absence of any grant awards or posted opportunities within the past 11 years, this program does not currently represent an active funding opportunity for external applicants.

Criteria for selecting proposals

The National Partnership for Women & Families ("National Partnership" or "NPWF") and the Office of the National Coordinator of Health IT (ONC) will work collaboratively to develop and incorporate questions into the National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTs) and once the results of the NCI survey results are available, the National Partnership will review the results, and assist ONC with the reporting and dissemination of the results. The National Partnership's involvement will enable ONC to collect, analyze and report on information that will help us better understand individuals' access to their electronic health information and the use of their health information including tools that enable them to collect, share and use their health information to monitor and manage health care needs for themselves and their loved ones. This cooperative agreement involves supporting ONC's efforts to measure and report on individuals' access and use of their electronic health information. Working with ONC, the National Partnership will identify survey items, from its and ONC's past surveys, and help develop new survey items for inclusion in the HINTS survey. NCI will then conduct the HINTS survey including the added survey items. Once the HINTS survey results are available, the National Partnership will review and help interpret the survey results and assist ONC in the development of written data products, such as data briefs. Finally, the National Partnership will help disseminate the results through its various channels, including via webinars, blog posts and social media.
