Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Pediatric Research Network Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10 219) was a one-time, Recovery Act-funded grant offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to strengthen the operational backbone of an already established pediatric, office-based applied research network in the United States. Its central purpose was not simply to fund a single study, but to build or enhance the infrastructure needed for that network to more quickly and reliably carry out comparative effectiveness research in real-world pediatric primary care settings. In practice, the program was aimed at making it easier for everyday pediatric practices to participate in research that compares different approaches to care, so that clinicians and health systems can better understand what works best for children under routine conditions, not just in tightly controlled academic trials.
A major emphasis of the opportunity was advancing the use of health information technology in pediatric primary care research. Grant funds were intended to help the funded network create a subnetwork of participating practices that use certified electronic health records (EHRs). By forming a coordinated group of EHR-enabled practices, the program sought to support faster, higher-quality data collection and analysis across multiple sites, enabling the network to address high-priority child health issues and to produce actionable evidence that could improve pediatric clinical practice. In other words, the EHR-focused subnetwork was a deliberate strategy to modernize research capacity, improve consistency in data capture, and support learning across geographically dispersed practices.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using an "Other" funding instrument type, with an estimated total program funding level of $3,500,000 and an expectation of making a single award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding was posted on March 5, 2010, with a closing date of May 5, 2010, and it was later archived on July 4, 2010, reflecting a defined, time-limited ARRA-era competition.
Eligibility was narrow and specific. Only existing Pediatric Office-based Research Networks were permitted to apply, rather than new collaborations formed for the purpose of the announcement. The eligibility category was listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the key restriction was that the applicant had to be an established pediatric office-based research network, signaling that HRSA intended to invest in organizations with proven capacity, established relationships with clinical sites, and the ability to rapidly expand or refine infrastructure rather than build it from scratch.
For access and applicant support, HRSA provided an additional information link to the full announcement and directed anyone with trouble accessing the materials electronically to contact the HRSA Call Center via email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) or by phone at 877-464-4772, including a TTY number (301-998-7373). Overall, the grant opportunity was designed to accelerate national pediatric primary care research capabilities during the Recovery Act period by leveraging certified EHR adoption and strengthening an existing network so it could generate practical comparative effectiveness evidence to improve child health care delivery.
ARRA MCH Pediatric Research Network Program (HRSA 10 219): FAQs
What was the ARRA Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Pediatric Research Network Program (HRSA 10 219)?
It was a one-time, Recovery Act-funded grant opportunity offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The program was designed to strengthen the operational backbone (infrastructure) of an already established pediatric, office-based applied research network in the United States.
What was the main goal of this funding opportunity?
The central purpose was to build or enhance the infrastructure of an existing pediatric office-based research network so it could conduct comparative effectiveness research more quickly and reliably in real-world pediatric primary care settings. The focus was on strengthening the network itself rather than funding a single standalone study.
What type of research was this program meant to support?
The program emphasized comparative effectiveness research in routine pediatric primary care. The intent was to help everyday pediatric practices participate in research that compares different approaches to care under typical conditions, generating evidence that can be used to improve clinical practice.
Why did the program focus on "office-based" pediatric research networks?
The opportunity was aimed at research in pediatric primary care practices, reflecting an interest in evidence generated in real-world clinical environments rather than only in tightly controlled academic trial settings.
How did health information technology (HIT) fit into the program?
A major emphasis was advancing the use of health information technology in pediatric primary care research. Grant funds were intended to help the funded network create a coordinated subnetwork of participating practices that use certified electronic health records (EHRs).
What is the EHR-focused subnetwork described in the opportunity?
It was a planned subset of participating practices within the larger research network that use certified EHRs. The purpose of forming this EHR-enabled group was to support faster, higher-quality data collection and multi-site analysis across geographically dispersed practices.
What was the practical benefit of having a subnetwork of certified EHR practices?
By coordinating EHR-enabled sites, the program sought to modernize research capacity, improve consistency in how data are captured, and enable faster analysis across multiple practices. This was intended to help the network address high-priority child health issues and produce evidence that can be applied in clinical practice.
How much funding was available under this opportunity?
The estimated total program funding level was $3,500,000.
How many awards was HRSA expecting to make?
The opportunity anticipated making a single award.
What kind of grant or funding instrument was used?
The award was offered as a discretionary award using an "Other" funding instrument type.
Was there a cost sharing or matching requirement?
No. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligibility was narrow: only existing Pediatric Office-based Research Networks were permitted to apply. The program was not intended for brand-new collaborations created solely to respond to the announcement.
The eligibility category says "Others." What does that mean here?
While the category was listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the key restriction described was that the applicant had to be an established pediatric office-based research network.
Why was eligibility limited to established networks?
The restriction signaled HRSA's intent to invest in organizations with proven capacity and established relationships with clinical sites, so the award could rapidly expand or refine infrastructure rather than build a network from scratch.
What were the key dates for this funding opportunity?
The funding was posted on March 5, 2010, and the closing date was May 5, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on July 4, 2010.
What does it mean that the opportunity was "one-time" and "Recovery Act-funded"?
It indicates this was a defined, time-limited competition supported by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, offered during the Recovery Act period rather than as an ongoing program with recurring annual competitions.
Was this program intended to fund a single pediatric study?
No. The description emphasizes that the program's central purpose was not simply to fund a single study, but to strengthen the infrastructure needed for the network to conduct comparative effectiveness research more effectively across pediatric primary care settings.
Where could applicants find the full announcement?
HRSA provided an additional information link to the full announcement.
Who could applicants contact if they had trouble accessing materials electronically?
Applicants were directed to contact the HRSA Call Center by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772. A TTY number was also provided: 301-998-7373.
