CMP Reinvestment Projects
A project is considered an "extension project" if it is similar in project details to an in progress or completed project approved after April 1, 2018 (same applicant and/or same collaborating partner, similar project focus, but to a different nursing home population).
A project is considered a “continuation project” if it is similar in project details and nursing home target population to a previously approved CMP project. Continuation projects cannot exceed the allowable 36-month limit.
Letters of Commitment
CMS requires that Letters of Commitment from each participating facility be submitted with the project application. Recruitment of facilities or adding additional facilities to the project are not permitted after the project has been approved.
CMS requires the following information be included in a Letter of Commitment:
1. The project title
2. The project time frame (1, 2 or 3 years)
3. The nursing home's CCN number (CMS certification number)
4. The signature of an individual authorized to commit the nursing home
5. An acknowledgement from the nursing home that participation in this project and subsequent use of funding will count against their budget for that funding category.”
A sample Letter of Commitment is provided for applicant use. Applicants may use their own Letters or may use this template.
State Agency Letter of Support
In order to submit a CMP Reinvestment application, the applicant must have a Letter of Support from the State Agency in the State where the project has been previously implemented for at least one year. "The applicant must submit results of the previously approved and completed project (if applicable), with confirmation by the State Agency. Results must show that an applicant met the project’s goals and objectives for an application extension to occur. An applicant submitting an extension project must include a letter or email from the State Agency(ies) of the previously approved, CMP-funded in progress or completed project. In the letter or email, the State Agency needs to state whether the previous applicant met project goals and objectives, and whether the State Agency recommends expanding this applicant’s project to other nursing homes."
