Rules from the program listing
Who can apply
Grants or cooperative agreements may be made to private, or public agencies or organizations, including State agencies that administer the Medicaid program. Private profit organizations may apply.
What the money can and cannot pay for
Under all authorizations, all applications must meet standards of excellence in research or evaluation design. Funds may not be used for construction or renovation of buildings. Funds authorized by Section 1115 of the Social Security Act are limited to State agencies administering the Medicaid program. The research issues and/or hypotheses identified by a project should be clearly stated and realistic and should reflect the issues of interest to CMS and, where appropriate, HHS, Federal Government, and the broader health services research community. The research design should clearly identify the measures that will be collected and analyzed to address the issues and/or hypotheses. These proposed measures should reflect concepts and variables that are consistent with the stated issues and hypotheses. The research design should also address the reliability of measures – i.e., a measurement should not change when the concept being measured remains constant in value. A common reliability concern is the level of inter-rater reliability of an instrument, determined by the extent to which two or more persons measuring the same characteristic would assign the same score. The research design should address the validity of proposed measures – i.e., the extent to which differences in scores on variable or the measuring instrument represent true differences in the characteristic we are trying to measure, rather than constant or random errors or the influence of other factors.
