CMS Extends MACRA QPP Measure Development Funding Opportunity Due to a System Issue

On May 29, 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) learned about a global issue with the System for Award Management (SAM). This issue may affect those who wish to apply for the “Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) Funding Opportunity: Measure Development for the Quality Payment Program” on Grants.gov. Therefore, CMS has extended the application deadline for this opportunity to June 5, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. ET.

If you have encountered an issue with SAM, please contact CMS immediately at MACRA-Measure-Funding@cms.hhs.gov.

As a reminder, If you have already applied for this opportunity and would like to make changes to your application, only the most recent application will be accepted by the due date above. Once an application is submitted, you will receive a tracking number from grants.gov to verify that your application was received.

You can find the ‘Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) Funding Opportunity: Measure Development for the Quality Payment Program’ by searching the title or Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number, 93.986 on Grants.gov.
