Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program is a federal competitive grant opportunity run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Its central aim is to strengthen outcomes for children and families in at-risk communities by helping states and jurisdictions expand, improve, and better implement evidence-based home visiting services. The competitive grants described in this announcement are meant to sit on top of the regular FY 2011 MIECHV formula funds, giving selected applicants extra resources to either scale what is already working or build the capacity needed to get there.
The opportunity is designed to push states toward coordinated, high-quality, statewide home visiting systems that fit into broader early childhood systems. In practical terms, it supports home visiting models that are backed by evidence and focuses on effective implementation, quality improvement, and comprehensive service coordination. The overarching purpose is not simply to fund more visits, but to promote expansion and strong implementation so that programs actually achieve the intended family and child outcomes.
This funding notice offers two main competitive tracks: Expansion Grants and Development Grants. Expansion Grants are intended for states and jurisdictions that have already made meaningful progress building a high-quality home visiting program and can demonstrate readiness to take effective services to scale. Applicants use Expansion Grant funds to either broaden the scale and/or scope of evidence-based home visiting programs, enhance or improve existing programs, or do both. In FY 2011, roughly $66 million was planned for Expansion Grants, supporting about seven to 10 awards lasting four years. Annual award amounts were expected to fall between about $6.6 million and $9.43 million, with applicants permitted to request up to the $9.43 million annual ceiling. Continued funding after the first year depends on future appropriations, adequate grantee performance, and a federal determination that continued funding serves the government’s interest.
Development Grants are geared toward states and jurisdictions that have smaller or more modest home visiting efforts and want to strengthen their foundation. The idea is for Development Grants to function as a stepping stone, helping recipients build capacity and program strength so they can later compete successfully for an Expansion Grant. For FY 2011, about $33 million was planned for Development Grants, supporting approximately 10 to 12 awards lasting two years. Expected annual awards ranged from about $2.75 million to $3.3 million, and applicants could request up to $3.3 million per year. As with Expansion Grants, second-year funding depends on continued appropriations, satisfactory performance, and federal approval to continue.
Overall, HRSA estimated total competitive funding of $99 million for FY 2011 and anticipated around 20 awards across both grant types. The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant in the health category, carries CFDA number 93.505, and does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility is aimed at state-level applicants and specified jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia and U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa (with eligibility details clarified in the full announcement). The funding opportunity number is HRSA-11-179, it was posted June 1, 2011, and had a closing date of July 1, 2011, with an archive date of August 30, 2011.
For applicants, the key takeaway is that this is a capacity-and-scale investment program: Expansion Grants reward readiness to grow proven home visiting services quickly and well, while Development Grants support places that need to strengthen infrastructure and implementation so they can expand effectively later. The full announcement and assistance were provided through HRSA, including access via the HRSA grants posting and support through the HRSA Call Center.
