Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, HRSA-14-101, is a competitive cooperative agreement under the Affordable Care Act Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program focused specifically on delivering evidence-based home visiting services in Oklahoma. It was created because the State of Oklahoma, despite receiving MIECHV funds since fiscal year (FY) 2010, did not apply for its FY 2013 MIECHV formula allocation. As a result, HRSA is making the FY 2013 and FY 2014 formula funds that would have gone to the state available instead to a single qualified nonprofit organization to carry out the program’s required activities in Oklahoma.
The core purpose of the award is to support home visiting services for families living in at-risk communities that were identified through Oklahoma’s MIECHV statewide needs assessment conducted by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. Applicants are expected to design their proposed service delivery around that needs assessment and to show clearly how they will reach and serve the high-need populations and geographies the assessment highlights. In addition to aligning with the needs assessment, the proposed project must comply with the goals, objectives, and statutory requirements of the MIECHV Program as authorized under section 511 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 711) and as further detailed in the funding opportunity announcement (FOA).
A key feature of this competition is that nonprofit awardees are expected to operate, as much as practical, under the same kinds of expectations that apply when states receive MIECHV formula funds. The authorizing statute (including section 511(h)(2)(B)) emphasizes that nonprofit program requirements should be consistent with state requirements to the greatest extent practicable. Practically, that means the nonprofit grantee must use the existing state needs assessment as the foundation for its program planning and must commit to performance management and accountability similar to what is required of state grantees. The FOA highlights the requirement to establish quantifiable and measurable benchmarks at the 3-year and 5-year marks, consistent with section 511(d)(1)(A). In other words, the selected nonprofit will need to define clear, measurable outcomes and track progress over time, rather than simply describing activities.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Only nonprofit organizations with an established record of providing early childhood home visiting programs or initiatives in one state or across multiple states are eligible (as described in section 511(k)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act). Organizations that do not meet this eligibility standard are not considered. The structure of the award is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a closer working relationship with the federal agency than a standard grant, often including substantial federal programmatic involvement such as ongoing guidance, monitoring, and collaboration on implementation and reporting.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at a total of $3,162,393, and the FOA anticipates making one award. Notably, the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $3,162,393, which signals that HRSA intended to fund one project at that precise amount rather than offering a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated for applicants. The CFDA number for this program is 93.505. The opportunity was originally posted March 3, 2014, with an original closing date of April 18, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of June 18, 2014, and it was archived August 17, 2014.
Operationally, an applicant needed to demonstrate it could stand up or continue a high-quality home visiting program in Oklahoma that targets the at-risk communities identified by the state assessment, adheres to MIECHV statutory and FOA requirements, and is capable of meeting rigorous performance expectations through defined 3-year and 5-year benchmarks. The FOA also clarifies that Oklahoma continued other related work under a separate MIECHV Expansion Grant (D89MC2315), but this competition was specifically about redirecting the state’s unclaimed FY 2013 and FY 2014 formula funds to a nonprofit to ensure services could still be delivered.
For technical assistance or access issues related to the full announcement, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and provided an email contact at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.

Yes. The nonprofit grantee must use the existing state needs assessment as the foundation for program planning and align the proposed service delivery with the needs and priorities identified in that assessment.
What performance and accountability expectations apply?
