Description: On February 4, 2009, the President signed into law the Children&apos;s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) (Pub.L. 111-3). CHIPRA reauthorizes the Children&apos;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through Federal fiscal year (FFY) 2013, providing an additional $35 billion in federal funds to enable States to maintain their current CHIP programs and increase enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP. CHIPRA includes a number of provisions increasing outreach funding and activities to enroll eligible, but uninsured children, in coverage with a particular focus on those who are the most difficult to reach. The provisions for the Outreach and Enrollment Grants are the subject of this solicitation. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will award a total of $80 million during two or more award cycles to eligible entities to conduct targeted outreach, resulting in increased enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP of eligible but unenrolled children.
