About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary funds capacity-building for health care sector Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs) to share cyber threat intelligence bi-directionally with the Health and Public Health sector and HHS, and to conduct cybersecurity awareness outreach and education, under CFDA 93.893. The program issued its most recent award on September 26, 2016.

This program has not been active since 2016. The portfolio contains a single cooperative agreement award to the National Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (NH-ISAC) for cyber threat information sharing in the health care and public health sector, valued at $371,520.86 with a five-year period of performance ending September 25, 2021. No subsequent awards or recent grant opportunities are present in the source.

The program operates exclusively as Cooperative Agreements under which awardees work collaboratively with HHS to develop sector-specific infrastructure and expertise. Eligible applicants must already be performing core ISAO functions—actively sharing cyber threat information bi-directionally with the HPH sector and providing cybersecurity awareness education—and must demonstrate capacity to expand. Awardees must select at least three operational domains and employ standards to advance interoperability. Award review involves subject matter expert panels and at least one federal employee; selection criteria include scope compliance, priority area alignment, evaluation and measurement plans, cost efficiency, and partnership leverage. HHS provides quarterly oversight, and awardees must maintain all program records for three years after close-out.

The original 2016 FOA specified a 60-day application window with a 30-day review period and Cooperative Agreement structure with expectation of collaborative implementation. The five-year award period detailed in the source suggests the program was designed for long-term capacity development, but no indication of program renewal or current solicitation activity is present in the available documentation.
