Opportunity Information: Apply for NAP AX 20 001
This grant opportunity, titled "Tracking Use and Impacts of Health IT on U.S. Office-Based Physicians," is a federal funding effort from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). It was released as a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) with the intent to fund a single cooperative agreement focused on generating reliable, national-level evidence about how office-based physicians in the United States use health information technology. The central idea is not just to document whether physicians have health IT, but to measure how it is being used in practice, what effects it is having, and how well different systems can exchange and use information across organizational boundaries, commonly referred to as interoperability.
The cooperative agreement is designed to support measurement and analysis using a nationally representative sample of U.S. office-based physicians. That emphasis on national representativeness signals that the work is expected to produce findings that generalize across the country rather than reflecting a single region, health system, or specialty group. ONC is looking for data that can serve as a credible barometer of the state of health IT adoption, use patterns, and interoperability performance in ambulatory physician settings. This includes tracking the extent to which physicians can electronically send, receive, find, and integrate patient information from outside sources, along with broader measures of how electronic systems influence clinical workflows, care coordination, and other outcomes tied to health IT.
A major purpose of the project is policy insight. ONC intends for the resulting data to help evaluate how federal health IT policies are playing out on the ground, including whether policy goals are being achieved and where gaps remain. The opportunity explicitly notes the importance of identifying disparities and unintended consequences. In practical terms, that means the funded work should be capable of revealing whether certain physician groups, practice sizes, patient populations, or geographic areas experience lower interoperability, higher burden, reduced benefits, or other uneven impacts related to health IT policy implementation. The overall deliverable is a national evidence base that can inform future rulemaking, program adjustments, and targeted interventions to improve interoperability and health IT outcomes.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized under health as the funding activity area and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which usually means ONC expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on measures, methods, deliverables, or dissemination). The funding opportunity number is NAP AX 20 001, and it is associated with CFDA 93.851. The NOFO was posted on August 12, 2020, with an original application deadline of September 11, 2020. The award ceiling listed is $290,000, and ONC expected to make one award, meaning the project was intended to be carried out by a single funded recipient rather than multiple parallel grantees.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement text. That wording typically indicates ONC was open to a range of capable entities, potentially including research organizations, universities, nonprofits, or other qualified groups, as long as they could credibly field or manage data collection and analysis at a national level. The core expectation, however, remains the same regardless of applicant type: produce high-quality, national-level data on health IT use and interoperability among office-based physicians, and translate those results into actionable insights about the real-world impacts of federal health IT policies, including where benefits are uneven or where policies may create unexpected negative effects.Apply for NAP AX 20 001
