Position Summary

Brief but strategic:
The Medicaid Grant Writer is responsible for identifying, developing, and submitting grant proposals focused on Iowa Medicaid programs, behavioral health services, and federal/state funding opportunities.

A. Grant Development & Writing

  • Develop program narratives aligned with Medicaid waiver services (e.g., HCBS, habilitation, substance use treatment)
  • Coordinate data collection, budgets, and supporting documentation
B. Medicaid & Compliance Alignment

  • Interpret Iowa Medicaid rules, managed care requirements, and waiver guidelines
  • Ensure proposals align with: 
    • HCBS regulations
    • Iowa Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) priorities
    • CMS funding frameworks

  • Build relationships with: 
    • Iowa HHS
    • Managed Care Organizations (Amerigroup, Iowa Total Care, Molina)
    • Community partners
  • Advise leadership on funding strategy and expansion opportunities
  • Maintain a grants pipeline and calendar
Required Qualifications

Keep this specific (this is what filters strong candidates):
  • Bachelor’s degree (Master’s in Social Work, Public Health, or Public Administration preferred)
  • 3–5+ years of grant writing experience
  • Proven success securing grants ($ amounts highly preferred)
  • Knowledge of: 
    • Medicaid systems (especially Iowa preferred)
    • Behavioral health / HCBS / disability services
  • Strong technical writing and budgeting skills
Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with: 
    • Iowa Medicaid Waivers (HCBS, SUD, Mental Health)
    • SAMHSA, HRSA, CMS grants
  • Background in: 
    • Nonprofit or healthcare agencies
  • Familiarity with grant platforms (e.g., Grants.gov)
KPIs / Performance Metrics

This is what makes the role robust:

  • Total dollars applied for vs. secured
  • Win rate (%)
  • Compliance accuracy (zero submission errors)
  • Pipeline growth
