The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation has released a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the Make America Healthy Again: Enhancing Lifestyle and Evaluating Value-based Approaches Through Evidence (MAHA ELEVATE) Model.

The MAHA ELEVATE Model seeks to evaluate evidence-based, whole-person care approaches not currently covered by Original Medicare. This model will provide approximately $100 million to fund 3-year cooperative agreements for up to 30 proposals that promote health and prevention for Original Medicare beneficiaries. The MAHA ELEVATE Model will also gather and evaluate new data on cost and quality to inform future interventions promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors and ultimately reduce spending in Original Medicare. 

Eligible applicants for this opportunity may include state or local government, Indian Health Service/Tribal Services programs, Federally Qualified Health Centers, community-based organizations, and health systems. 

Applicants must submit a mandatory Letter of Intent by April 10, 2026. The application deadline is May 15, 2026.
