- What it does
- This program provides an opportunity to strengthen and expand the ability of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) to support public health agencies in communities and states. There is a clear need for new data and new approaches for public health programs, including approaches made possible by modern computing. For example, case investigation and contact tracing can be augmented by new data and new approaches to better identify the sources of a disease and help prevent additional outbreaks.
- Who benefits
- Not Applicable
- Who applies
- The funding opportunity is a limited competition. It is limited to U.S.-based HIE entities. This includes non-profit public or for-profit HIE entities. However, recipients are not able to make a profit on activities funded by the cooperative agreement per federal requirements. Applicants must provide an attestation that the applicant is a Health Information Exchange or Health Information Network as defined in 45 CFR171.102. Entities may enter into multi-organizational and/or regional agreements to apply to this NOFO. However, one singular entity must be the applicant; act as the responsible agent; submit the application on behalf of all entities involvedpartners, who must provide written documentation affirming the applicant’s role as their agent; and maintain accountability for the proper use of federal funds. ONC hopes to distribute funding throughout the country. ONC does not intend to award duplicative service areas.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
