Comparison of MACRA Connecting Kids to Coverage Outreach and Enrollment

Grants and Cooperative Agreement Reporting Templates

These data collection templates are used by grantees to submit standardized semi-annual progress reports. The most recent Cycle IV cooperative agreement template is based on the CHIPRA Round II American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) template approved by OMB. Many of the differences between templates are due to design modifications between the grant and cooperative agreement. Grantees awarded the MACRA Cycle IV cooperative agreements target broader populations rather than the previous template where grantees targeted the AI/AN populations. CMS has also changed evaluation contractors who use the data reported to complete their analyses.

To facilitate the PRA approval process, we prepared this table to assist reviewers in identifying key changes from previously cleared templates. In cases where this current template differed from the previous FOAs, we noted it with a “  ” and provided narrative to reflect the changes.
