Hispanic Health Services Research Grant Program: The purpose of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Hispanic Grant Program is to implement Hispanic American health services research activities to meet the needs of diverse CMS beneficiary populations. The grant program is designed to: 1) encourage Hispanic health services researchers to pursue research issues which impact the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP programs, 2) assist CMS in implementing its mission focusing on health care quality and improvement for its beneficiaries, 3) assist Hispanic researchers by supporting extramural research in health care capacity development activities for the Hispanic American communities, 4) increase the pool of Hispanic American researchers available to implement the research, demonstration, and evaluation activities of CMS, 5) promote research that will be aimed at developing a better understanding of health care services issues pertaining to Hispanic Americans, and 6) foster an Hispanic network for communication and collaboration regarding health care issues. This program is consistent with President George Bush's Executive Order 13230, directing an interagency approach to developing, monitoring, and coordinating federal efforts to promote high-quality education for Hispanic Americans. The Commission works to develop ways to maximize the effectiveness of Federal education initiatives within the Hispanic community. This program is one strategy to increase the participation, promotion, and professional development of Hispanic investigators in health services research. Funding is available for grants to implement research related to health care delivery and health financing issues affecting Hispanic American communities, including issues of access to health care, utilization of health care services, health outcomes, quality of services, cost of care, health and racial disparities, socio-economic differences, cultural barriers, managed care systems, and active ties related to health screening, prevention, outreach, and education.
