Opportunity Information: Apply for MP CPI 21 002
The Accessing Social Determinants of Health Data through Local Data Intermediaries Initiative is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and the Office of Minority Health (OMH). Released for Fiscal Year 2021 under the authority of Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u-6), the program is structured as a demonstration-grant effort meant to test and document practical approaches that can be replicated, shared, and sustained over time. The central idea is to improve how communities access and use social determinants of health (SDOH) data by working through local data intermediaries, with the broader intent of strengthening decision-making and interventions that address health inequities.
At its core, the opportunity reflects OMH's mission to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations by supporting policies and programs that reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities. Rather than focusing narrowly on clinical care, the initiative emphasizes the importance of SDOH factors such as housing, transportation, food access, education, environmental conditions, and economic stability, because these upstream factors often shape health outcomes and drive inequities. By funding demonstration projects, OMH aims to identify strategies that are effective in real-world community contexts and to generate evidence, lessons learned, and models that can be disseminated beyond the initial grantees.
The initiative is explicitly aligned with major federal priorities, including the HHS priority on social determinants of health, the OASH priority on reducing health disparities, and HHS Strategic Goal 4, which focuses on fostering sustained advances in science. In practical terms, that alignment signals that the grant is meant to strengthen the data foundation needed for better public health action: improving access to relevant SDOH information, encouraging responsible data sharing and use, and enabling communities to translate data into targeted programs and policies that improve outcomes for populations experiencing disproportionate burdens of disease.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) categorized under the health funding activity area, with CFDA number 93.137. The opportunity number is MP CPI 21 002. HHS anticipated making two awards, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per award. The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2021, and the original application deadline was July 28, 2021. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full funding notice, indicating the applicant pool may extend beyond standard categories and may include specific types of organizations identified in the official eligibility language.
Overall, the program is best understood as a targeted investment in local capacity to obtain, manage, and apply SDOH data through trusted community-level intermediaries. The expected payoff is more coordinated and data-informed efforts to address the non-medical drivers of health, particularly in ways that support racial and ethnic minority communities and contribute to measurable progress on health equity.Apply for MP CPI 21 002
