- What it does
- The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is the principal federal entity charged with coordination of nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health information technology (health IT) and the electronic exchange of health information. Created in 2004 through Executive Order and legislatively mandated in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) of 2009, ONC is at the forefront of the federal government’s health IT efforts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is aimed ensuring consistency in the development of implementation guides for the standards necessary to achieve interoperability among health IT systems and to reach the milestones identified in the 21st Century Cures Act. The overarching goal is to advance the implementation consistency and readiness of the current and new versions of Integrating Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) technical implementation guides that include Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) technical standards for adoption by the healthcare industry.
- Who benefits
- The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to advance the market’s ability to electronically exchange health information through the use of certified health IT and to ensure that the products function in the production environment in the form and manner they are certified to. While the beneficiaries are ultimately the broader public at-large, the direct beneficiaries include those who work directly with certified health IT products.

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:
