The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention Program offered this funding opportunity to eligible Idaho health clinics or systems for an evidence-based cardiovascular disease initiative focused on patients with hypertension and high cholesterol. The cycle closed September 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM MDT.
Funding and deadline
Idaho DHW plans to fund up to three health clinics or systems at $20,000 to $80,000 for the first year. Applications closed Friday, September 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM MDT; this cycle is no longer accepting new submissions. The initial project period is expected to begin in October 2026 and run through June 29, 2027, with a possible additional subgrant year through June 2028 based on performance, an approved Year 2 work plan and budget, available funding, and federal approval.
Program priorities
The solicitation supports evidence-based strategies that improve the use of health information technology, expand team-based care, and build community-clinical linkages for patients with hypertension and high cholesterol. Structured activities may include policy development, referral workflows, multidisciplinary care coordination, and required reporting.
Atlas analysis
This was a high-value applicant-led cardiovascular-care opportunity, but Idaho DHW provided controlling written clarification on September 8, 2026 that solicitation Section 4.3 prohibits equipment or medical equipment of any kind or amount and that the combined N9+ connected-device/supporting-platform request falls within the unallowable-cost category. Atlas Opportunity Score: 95/100. N9+ Solution/Partner Fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 30/100 conditional. For this cycle, N9+ device/equipment and the supporting-platform request are not allowable based on Idaho DHW’s written September 8 clarification. Atlas will not position or budget those costs under this opportunity.
Path: Closed. No new submissions or outreach are authorized. Preserve historical correspondence and application records; do not position an N9+ device/equipment component under this cycle.
