What does Research And Grants do?

The Research and Grants division of the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission is dedicated to advancing evidence-based policy analysis to inform federal payment and access decisions for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Its core mission centers on conducting rigorous social science research and technical consulting to evaluate program outcomes, identify disparities in care delivery, and assess the impact of state-level policy innovations. Strategic priorities include longitudinal data analysis, beneficiary access modeling, and policy simulation studies that support Congress and federal administrators in refining payment structures and expanding equitable coverage. The agency prioritizes research that informs legislative and regulatory actions, with a strong emphasis on longitudinal survey data interpretation and policy evaluation frameworks. The agency primarily procures research and development services in the social sciences and humanities, alongside specialized technical consulting to support complex policy analysis. Contract vehicles are typically indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) arrangements, enabling flexible, long-term engagement with subject-matter experts across multiple fiscal cycles. These structures facilitate sustained analytical support for evolving policy needs without requiring repeated competitive bidding. The agency’s procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting its reliance on academic and policy research firms capable of designing surveys, analyzing administrative data, and delivering actionable insights. There are no set-aside preferences indicated in procurement history, and vendor relationships appear to be merit-based, focused on methodological rigor and domain expertise in health policy research. As a component of the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission, the agency operates without a physical location, functioning as a federal advisory unit embedded within the broader commission structure. It relies exclusively on IDIQ and task-order contracts to secure analytical services, maintaining a lean, research-driven operational model focused on federal oversight and policy guidance.
