Priority will be given to projects that rapidly hire, train, and deploy new types of health care workers.
The Health Care Innovation Challenge will award up $1 billion in grants to applicants who will implement the most compelling new ideas to deliver better health, improved care and lower costs to people enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP, particularly those with the highest health care needs. Awards will range from approximately $1 million to $30 million for a three-year period.
