Description: The Accountable Health Communities (AHC) model addresses a gap in the current delivery system by funding interventions that connect community-dwelling beneficiaries with community services. The AHC model will test three community-focused interventions of varying intensity and their ability to impact total health care costs and inpatient and outpatient health care utilization. This model will engage community-dwelling Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries of all ages (children and adults). CMS will award, through a competitive process, renewable one-year cooperative agreements to successful applicants (award recipients). This funding opportunity is a second announcement, specifically for Track 1-Awareness. Eligible Applicants interested in a Track 1- Awareness cooperative agreement, including eligible applicants who previously submitted a Track 1 application in response to funding opportunity number CMS-1P1-17-001, must submit an application through grants.gov that is responsive to this funding opportunity announcement. Track 1 will run for a five-year period. Parameters for the Track 1 AHC model are described in this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
