Grant Description: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing the availability of funds under its grant program to assist Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in conducting health services research in Fiscal Year 2010. This announcement seeks competitive applications for small applied research projects that relate to identifying and evaluating solutions for eliminating health disparities among the African American population. Additionally, the project should enhance the capacity of HBCUs to successfully compete for CMS research and program funds in the future. HBCUs are expected to become involved in the design, implementation, and operation of research projects that address health care issues such as financing, delivery, access, quality, and barriers affecting the African American community. CMS is seeking these types of research projects because of its belief that HBCUs play a pivotal role in finding solutions to the many difficult health issues that have a significant impact on the health of African Americans. The unique expertise, knowledge, reputation, and sensitivity that HBCU investigators can bring to the design, implementation, and operation of such research will be a key to advancing the national, state and local agenda of eliminating health disparities.The President?s Board of Advisors on HBCUs supports strengthening the educational capacity of HBCUs through various mechanisms. This grant program is consistent with the Executive Order - White House Initiative on HBCUs, Promoting Excellence, Innovation, and Sustainability at HBCUs. Each executive department and agency designated by the Secretary of Education shall prepare an annual plan (agency plan) of its efforts to strengthen the capacity of HBCUs through increased participation in appropriate Federal programs and initiatives. Each agency plan shall proposed efforts to: 1) establish how the department or agency intends to increase the capacity of HBCUs to compete effectively for grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements and to encourage HBCUs to participate in Federal programs; 2) identify Federal programs and initiatives in which HBCUs may be either underserved or underused as national resources; and 3) encourage public-sector, private-sector, and community involvement in improving the overall capacity of HBCUs. CMS?s HBCU Health Services Research Grant Program complies with the Executive Order. This program is one strategy to increase the participation, promotion, and professional development of HBCU investigators in health services, health disparities, and health equity research.
