Opportunity Information: Apply for MP CPI 20 001
The State/Tribal/Territorial Partnership Initiative to Document and Sustain Disparity-Reducing Interventions is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Minority Health (OMH). Issued under Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u-6), the program reflects OMH's broader mission to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority communities and other disadvantaged groups by supporting policies and programs that help eliminate persistent health disparities. Rather than funding entirely new, untested ideas, OMH uses demonstration-style grants like this one to identify approaches that work in real-world settings and to encourage strategies that can be maintained and shared beyond the life of the award.
This initiative is built around the idea that many communities already have evidence-informed public health interventions in place, but those interventions may not be producing strong enough results for populations experiencing disproportionate burdens of disease and poor outcomes. The grant is designed to help governmental health agencies determine whether thoughtfully modifying an existing intervention can lead to significantly better health outcomes for the groups facing disparities. In practical terms, the program supports applied testing and improvement: agencies take an intervention that is already evidence-informed, adapt it to better fit local context and community needs, and then assess whether those changes measurably improve outcomes for selected health issues.
The opportunity is closely aligned with a set of national priorities led by the Assistant Secretary for Health and HHS, including physical activity, sickle cell disease, HIV, and substance use. It also ties into several major federal strategies and frameworks, such as the HHS Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, the HHS National Youth Sports Strategy, the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, and the HHS 5-Point Strategy to Combat the Opioid Crisis. More broadly, it supports HHS Strategic Goal 2, which emphasizes protecting health in the everyday environments where people live, learn, work, and play. These alignments signal the types of health areas and policy directions OMH expects applicants to connect to when proposing intervention modifications and evaluation plans.
The grant has two central objectives that shape what applicants are expected to do. First, recipients are expected to test modifications to existing public health programs or practices and evaluate whether the modified version succeeds in significantly improving health outcomes for selected priority health issues, specifically among racial and ethnic minority and disadvantaged populations experiencing disparities. Second, recipients must develop and begin implementing sustainability plans so that any interventions proven successful can continue after the grant period ends. This sustainability emphasis is a defining feature of the program: OMH is not only interested in short-term gains during the award window, but in building the operational capacity, partnerships, and long-term planning needed to keep effective interventions running and to support future dissemination.
Eligible applicants are identified broadly in the listing as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the opportunity's eligibility details, but the program description makes clear the intended audience is governmental health agencies at the state, tribal, territorial, and local levels. The overall purpose is capacity-building within these public agencies, enabling them to improve how they adapt interventions for high-need populations, how they measure impact, and how they plan for continuation once federal funds end.
Key administrative details in the source data include the opportunity number MP CPI 20 001 and CFDA 93.137. The funding instrument is a grant within the health activity category. The posting indicates a creation date of July 24, 2020 and an original application closing date of August 26, 2020. The expected number of awards was 26, with an award ceiling of $300,000 per award. Taken together, the structure and scale suggest OMH intended a cohort of governmental partners to run targeted, evaluable projects focused on improving disparity-related outcomes, while also laying the groundwork for sustained public health practice improvements that can last beyond the federal funding period.Apply for MP CPI 20 001
