I am using Visual Studio .NET to generate my installer packages. I have a Merge Module that includes a custom action that needs data passed to it. But I need to pass the data from the MSI project that includes the Merge Module. Is there a way to pass CustomActionData at the MSI project level, instead of just at the Custom Action level. The reason I need to do this is because I have two installers that use the same merge module (and custom action) and I want to pass different data to each.

You could certainly set the CustomActionData in your main setup, knowing the name of your custom action which resides in the merge module. Remember that typically the CA name gets the module guid appended.
