Grant Description
This announcement solicits applications for Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCN) in fiscal year (FY) 2013. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is seeking to provide grants to HCCNs to advance the adoption and implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT) and to support quality improvement in health centers throughout the United States and its territories. HCCN grants will support the adoption and meaningful use of certified electronic health records (EHRs) and technology-enabled quality-improvement (QI) strategies in health centers. Subject to the availability of appropriated funds, HRSA anticipates awarding approximately $20 million to support approximately 25 to 30 grants for Federal fiscal years 2013-2015.
