Opportunity Information: Apply for MP CPI 24 001
The Community Level Innovations for Improving Health Outcomes grant (Funding Opportunity Number: MP CPI 24 001; CFDA 93.137) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, with program leadership from the Office of Minority Health. It is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 300u-6 (Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act) and is designed to fund practical, community-driven projects that can show measurable improvements in health by reducing barriers tied to social determinants of health (SDOH). The central idea is to support innovations that make it easier for people to access and use preventive health services, while also helping communities move toward specific Healthy People 2030 goals.
At its core, this opportunity is looking for projects that demonstrate how addressing everyday environmental and social conditions can translate into better health outcomes. Social determinants of health are defined here in the Healthy People 2030 framework as the conditions in the places where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age, and these conditions can shape health risks, functioning, and overall quality of life. Rather than focusing on clinical care delivery, the grant emphasizes reducing real-world barriers that keep people from getting preventive services in the first place, such as challenges related to transportation, access to trustworthy information, language barriers, navigation of complex systems, limited community resources, or other structural and social factors that can prevent timely prevention and early intervention.
A key performance expectation is progress toward Leading Health Indicators (LHIs). LHIs are described as a high-priority subset of Healthy People 2030 objectives that were selected specifically to drive action and to concentrate attention on measures that can move population health and well-being. Applicants are expected to design their community-level innovations in a way that clearly links SDOH-related barrier reduction to increased uptake of preventive health services and to measurable movement toward these LHI targets. In other words, the grant is not simply funding general community wellness activities; it is funding approaches that can demonstrate results and produce evidence that these approaches can work in real community settings.
Funding for FY 2024 is anticipated at a total of approximately $8,000,000, with up to 14 awards expected. Individual awards are projected to range from $475,000 to $600,000 per year, and the period of performance can run up to 48 months. Funded recipients must provide ongoing accountability through required reporting on progress and milestones, submitted as part of an annual noncompeting continuation application, meaning continuation across the multi-year project is tied to satisfactory performance and reporting rather than being automatic without review.
One of the most important restrictions in this opportunity is that costs of medical services are unallowable. This signals that the government is not trying to pay for direct clinical treatment or patient care through this program. Instead, the funding is intended for interventions and supports that remove barriers and improve preventive service utilization at the community level, such as systems, partnerships, outreach models, navigation supports, community-based strategies, data-driven coordination, and other non-clinical innovations that help people reach and use preventive care.
The grant also includes a forward-looking sustainability component. Early in the fourth budget period, the agency anticipates offering a competing continuation opportunity for an additional 12-month period (effectively a fifth year) for selected projects that are successful and ready to transition toward sustainability. This extra year is not guaranteed, and the funding level for that additional period is not expected to necessarily match prior years, but it is presented as a possible pathway for strong projects to stabilize, institutionalize, or scale what they have built as they move beyond initial federal support.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of government, education, tribal, housing, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in the nonprofit categories). This wide eligibility pool reflects the program's emphasis on community-level innovation, where solutions often come from cross-sector local organizations and public entities rather than from healthcare providers alone.
From an administrative standpoint, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Grants and Acquisitions Management Division provides administrative support for the competition and strongly encourages applicants to follow the notice requirements closely. Applicants are expected to review and comply with program requirements, eligibility rules, formatting and submission instructions, and evaluation criteria. The original application closing date listed is May 15, 2024, and the award ceiling is $600,000 per year per award, aligning with the stated annual range for project funding.Apply for MP CPI 24 001
