Notice of Funding Opportunity for Quality Improvement

The Quality Analytics team is pleased to share the attached Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Quality Improvement Medi-Cal Grant Program for Program Year 2024.

The purpose of this program is to provide support to Health Networks, Community Clinics, and CalOptima Health Community Network (CHCN) primary care providers for the planning and implementation of quality improvement activities providing services to CalOptima Health Medi-Cal members.

Measures of focus must be from the MY2024 Pay for Value (P4V) Program (please see appendix A within the attached Notice of Funding Opportunity). Grants may be awarded for individual measures or groups of measures targeting similar member populations, for example, well-child visits and childhood immunizations.

Grant amounts may range from $50,000 to $250,000 per measure/measure group. The number and amounts of grants awarded will be contingent upon available funds and determination of acceptable grants.

Grant funds may be used for staff who directly provide or coordinate patient care under the quality improvement initiatives. However, funds may not be used to fund administrative staffing or any indirect costs.
