Event Description

Discretionary Funds under the Affordable Care Act

One of the key issues of the upcoming election is the fate of the Affordable Care Act. Much of the debate over Obamacare involves the creation of a health exchange market, but the law also authorized billions of dollars in discretionary grant opportunities that agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Health Resources and Services Administration have distributed over the last few years.

The good news is that are still upcoming grant opportunities for FY 2016, authorized under the ACA, that can help community health providers, hospitals and public health agencies improve health outcomes, and we'll help you find and prepare for them. But just as important, no matter what happens in November, there will be discretionary grant opportunities that are now authorized under the ACA that will likely continue, even if a new GOP president and Congress fulfill their pledge to end Obamacare.

Learn with expert speaker David Kittross what's likely to be still available, what priorities will be emphasized, and what you can expect in the way  discretionary grants will be reviewed and awarded, will give you a head start on preparing for health discretionary grants in 2016 and beyond, regardless of the fate of Obamacare.

Session Highlights:

  • We'll cover the remaining ACA discretionary grant opportunities in FY 2016.
  • When can you expect these RFPs - we'll provide tips on likely priorities, and how you can make your application stand out.
  • If the election produces a GOP Washington, what discretionary grants are likely to disappear, and which programs are likely to continue - or even expand. You'll learn what programs will likely replace the Prevention and Public Health Fund, the multi-million program authorized by the ACA that Republicans have continually attacked. 
  • You'll hear what to expect in the area of health funding if Democrats keep control of the White House
  • Discretionary health grants: No matter who wins, there are some areas of agreement between the two parties - what are some of the likely priorities that agencies will adopt to get the most "bang for their buck" with discretionary health funding.
  • Expect major changes in discretionary grantmaking, not just involving health but all areas: You get the scoop on how these trends will affect 2016 grants, as well as what you'll see in the future.

  • Whether a Democrat or Republican wins the White House, you can expect some areas where agreements on discretionary health funding is likely - we'll give you an advance look at where funding is likely in future years.
  • The administration has been trying to revise the way discretionary grants are awarded, and no matter who wins the election, there will be some new requirements and expectations for discretionary health grants.
