Opportunity Summary:
The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal and Child Health Cooperative Agreement, Expanding Access to Care for the Maternal and Child Health Population (AIM), is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through its Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). The purpose of the program is to expand access to care for maternal and child health (MCH) populations by supporting coordinated, practical activities that help systems serve pregnant women, infants, children, and families more effectively. This specific listing is for Category 2, described as "Measuring Collaborative Engagement Awardee Activity," which signals an emphasis on assessing or documenting how partners work together and how that collaboration contributes to improved access and systems change.
The cooperative agreement structure is important because it implies a more hands-on federal role than a typical grant. Instead of simply providing funds and receiving reports, HRSA and MCHB expect to collaborate with the awardee organization(s) in implementing the work. The overall AIM initiative is described as having two categories of award, with this opportunity focusing on one of those categories. In practical terms, applicants should expect federal involvement in shaping deliverables, aligning efforts with national MCH priorities, and ensuring that work products and lessons learned can be shared across broader MCH networks.
The program is organized around three main focus areas that collectively reflect key access-to-care barriers for MCH populations. First, it targets continuity of coverage and care for pregnant women and children, which typically involves addressing gaps in insurance coverage, transitions between coverage types, and disruptions in care during pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, and childhood. Second, it aims to improve systems of care for children with special health care needs, a group that often requires coordinated medical, behavioral, developmental, and supportive services across providers and settings. Third, it promotes the use of the Bright Futures Guidelines for all children, supporting consistent adoption of evidence-informed recommendations for preventive services, well-child visits, screenings, anticipatory guidance, and developmental and behavioral health supports.
A central theme of the opportunity is that it is designed to help organizations address real-world issues facing MCH populations while also raising awareness of best practices in health and social programs. That means the award is not only about direct service delivery; it is also about spreading approaches that work, improving how systems function, and helping stakeholders use proven guidance and standards. The announcement notes that each awardee will carry out activities tailored to its target audience, suggesting flexibility in how an applicant designs its project, as long as it aligns with the three focus areas and supports the overall goal of expanding access to care.
Funding for this opportunity was limited and competitive. HRSA projected a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000, and the award ceiling was also $250,000, indicating one project funded up to that amount. There was no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes participation more feasible for organizations without large unrestricted budgets. The opportunity was posted on June 26, 2014, with a closing date of July 28, 2014, and it was archived on September 26, 2014, reflecting a defined, time-limited application window.
Eligibility was broad. Under 42 C.F.R. 51a.3(a), any public or private entity could apply, including an Indian tribe or tribal organization as defined in federal law. The announcement explicitly states that faith-based and community-based organizations were eligible as well, provided they otherwise met the eligibility requirements. The listing groups eligible applicants under "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility text, but the cited regulation language indicates a wide range of potential applicants, such as nonprofits, universities, health associations, community organizations, and tribal entities.
The federal identifier information attached to the opportunity includes Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-141 and CFDA number 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). For applicants and stakeholders, these identifiers matter for tracking the program within federal systems, linking to HRSA reporting and compliance expectations, and aligning the project with the larger MCHB portfolio.
For support or access issues, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center, with contact options by phone and email. This is standard for HRSA opportunities and indicates where applicants could obtain technical assistance related to accessing the full announcement, navigating submission systems, or resolving application problems.
