Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program Grants to Nonprofit Organizations (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-163) is a discretionary grant competition run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support evidence-based home visiting services for families with young children in high-need communities. This particular competition exists because the States of Wyoming and North Dakota relinquished their MIECHV funding and are not participating in the program under Section 511(c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 711(c)). As a result, HRSA is making those funds available directly to qualified nonprofit organizations to ensure home visiting services can still be delivered to families in at-risk communities within either of those two states.
Only nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) are eligible to apply, and applicants must have an established record of running early childhood home visiting programs or related initiatives in one or more states. The core expectation is that the nonprofit will provide home visiting services, as defined in the funding opportunity announcement, to families living in communities identified as at risk in either Wyoming or North Dakota. Applicants must clearly specify which state they are proposing to serve. If an organization wants to operate in both states, it must submit two separate applications, one for Wyoming and one for North Dakota, rather than a single combined proposal.
A key requirement of this opportunity is that nonprofit grantees must operate in a way that is, as much as practicable, consistent with the rules that would apply if the state itself were the grantee. In practical terms, that means the funded program must be grounded in the needs assessment previously conducted by the relevant state (Wyoming or North Dakota). The nonprofit must also establish quantifiable, measurable benchmarks with 3-year and 5-year targets, aligned with the benchmark expectations used for state MIECHV programs. These benchmarks are intended to make performance trackable over time and to ensure the program can show measurable progress for participating families and communities.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making 2 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $8,000,000. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 93.505. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity. The opportunity was posted June 19, 2012, with a closing date that was extended to July 30, 2012, and it was archived September 28, 2012.
For official documents and full requirements, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the HRSA Contact Center (877-464-4772) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
