Opportunity Information: Apply for MP CPI 21 008
The Minority Leaders Development Program (Funding Opportunity Number MP CPI 21 008) is a FY 2021 discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and the Office of Minority Health (OMH). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have an active role in shaping, supporting, or overseeing key parts of the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The legal authority for the program comes from Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u-6). The core intent is to support work that advances OMH's mission: improving the health of racial and ethnic minority populations by strengthening health policies and programs that can eliminate persistent health disparities.
At a practical level, the opportunity is framed as a demonstration grant. That signals an emphasis on testing and implementing approaches that show promise in real-world settings, collecting evidence about what works, and then positioning successful strategies for broader replication or dissemination. In other words, applicants are expected to do more than deliver services; they are expected to generate actionable lessons and models that can be shared and used elsewhere to improve health outcomes for minority communities.
The program explicitly aligns with broader departmental priorities, including OASH's focus on eliminating health disparities and the HHS Strategic Plan Objective 1.4, which emphasizes strengthening and expanding the health care workforce to meet America's diverse needs. While the notice text provided does not spell out program activities in detail, the title and strategic alignment strongly suggest the program is oriented toward developing minority leadership capacity within health-related fields and systems, with the larger goal of improving equity in health outcomes. Projects under this kind of initiative often center on building pipelines, training, mentoring, leadership development, and institutional support structures that help diversify and strengthen the people and organizations working to address disparities.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $750,000 per award, with an expected total of three awards. The listing is associated with CFDA number 93.137. The opportunity was created on June 17, 2021, with an original application closing date of August 17, 2021, meaning it was a time-limited competition for that fiscal year. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full funding notice, so applicants would have needed to consult the complete eligibility language to confirm whether they qualify (for example, eligibility in HHS announcements often includes certain nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, tribal entities, or other community-based and public/private organizations, depending on the program design).
Overall, the Minority Leaders Development Program is a federally supported effort to identify and elevate effective, scalable approaches that can strengthen leadership and capacity connected to minority health and ultimately reduce health disparities. It sits squarely within HHS's health equity agenda, emphasizing demonstrable impact and the ability to share methods that work beyond a single site or community.Apply for MP CPI 21 008
