About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration administers the Specially Selected Health Projects program (CFDA 93.888) to fund congressionally selected health initiatives, with the most recent grant award made on July 1, 2011.
This program is inactive for new funding purposes. The portfolio contains 920 awards spanning 2000 to 2011, with award activity concentrated in the mid-2000s (152 awards in 2005, peaking at 201 in 2008) before declining sharply to a single award in 2011. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no new awards have been obligated in over fifteen years.
The program funded a diverse range of congressionally mandated health initiatives. Recent awards supported rural health outreach special initiatives, congressionally-mandated health information technology grants, service-focused special congressional initiatives (including recovery support communities on college campuses and innovations in nursing education using technology), designated health projects, research-focused initiatives, and mandated health care projects. Award sizes ranged widely—from $49,500 to $2.5 million—with representative recent grants including a Rural Health Outreach Special Initiative for $345,264 (July 2011), Congressionally-Mandated Health Information Technology Grants for $2,474,592 (September 2010), and a Service-Focused Special Congressional Initiative for improved health occupations instruction using patient simulation at $296,047 (September 2010).
The program distributed $239.5 million in combined federal obligated dollars across 920 awards, with all funding provided by Health Resources and Services Administration. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (615 awards, 67 percent) with a substantial Block Grant component (305 awards, 33 percent). No current solicitation activity is available.
