Health Equity Data Access Program (HEDAP): The Health Equity Data Access program (HEDAP provides funding for three (3) “seats” in the CMS Virtual Research Data Center (VRDC). HEDAP assists researchers in gaining access to CMS restricted data for minority health research. Seats, in this context are defined as an individual user with VRDC access. These researchers will conduct health services research focusing on, but not limited to, racial and ethnic minority groups; people with disabilities; members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community; individuals with limited English proficiency; individuals residing in rural areas; and individuals adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality. The HEDAP supports specific applied research projects that relate to creative and innovative methods by using CMS data to identify, document, assess, and evaluate health disparities among Medicare and Medicaid and CHIP enrollees. The project should enhance the capacity of the researcher to understand and utilize CMS data in future research projects. Additionally, HEDAP encourages cutting-edge proposals that explore intersectionality. “Intersectionality” means that people belong to more than one group and, therefore, may have overlapping health and social inequities, as well as overlapping strengths and assets. Results of the HEDAP will provide CMS and its partners, (e.g. Quality Improvement Organizations, Hospital Engagement Networks, and other stakeholders) with actionable information on the subgroups of enrollees. This will aid the efforts of CMS and its agents to identify and eradicate health disparities in underserved populations. VRDC seat access will be funded for a period of 36 months each, based on the availability of funds.
