Opportunity Summary:
The Bright Futures Pediatric Implementation (BFPI) Cooperative Agreement is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the quality and consistency of pediatric health promotion and preventive care across the United States. Its central aim is to support effective national implementation of the Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents (Third Edition and future updates), with an emphasis on improving outcomes for all infants, children, adolescents, and their families, including children with special health care needs. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee is expected to work closely with HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), particularly on activities related to maintaining and updating the Bright Futures Guidelines.
At its core, BFPI focuses on moving Bright Futures from a set of recommendations into routine practice in real-world clinical, public health, and community settings. The program is meant to identify practical opportunities for adoption, engage key national partners who can help drive systems-level change, develop and test implementation strategies and tools, evaluate whether those strategies work, and then take the most effective approaches to scale so they can be used broadly. National leadership is a clear expectation of the award, and the selected organization is intended to serve as a hub that aligns clinical practice, training, public health efforts, and family engagement around a shared preventive care framework.
The initiative is organized around four main Bright Futures goals. First, it seeks to promote positive social, developmental, and health outcomes for children and adolescents. Second, it aims to strengthen health care professionals knowledge, skills, and day-to-day practice of developmentally appropriate care, with health promotion and prevention embedded in family and community context. Third, it is intended to increase family knowledge, skills, and participation in prevention and health-promoting behaviors, recognizing families as central partners rather than passive recipients. Fourth, it emphasizes building partnerships among families, health professionals, public health entities, and the broader community to create a coordinated approach to childrens health.
The work expected under the award includes several major responsibilities. One is maintaining and updating the Bright Futures Guidelines and related tools in response to new scientific evidence and evolving standards of care, and then ensuring wide dissemination and easy access for many audiences, including clinicians, public health professionals, families, educators, policymakers, and payers. Another is designing and piloting innovative strategies and practical tools that help multidisciplinary pediatric providers use Bright Futures consistently, including integration with oral health care and use across multiple settings. A third responsibility is weaving Bright Futures into health professional education and training, both in pre-service education programs and continuing education, spanning multiple disciplines such as primary care, oral health, and public health. Finally, the opportunity includes a research and workforce development component aimed at improving the evidence base for pediatric preventive services by supporting early-career pediatric clinical investigators.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary HRSA opportunity in the health category, posted September 6, 2011, with an original and final closing date of November 1, 2011, and an archive date of December 30, 2011. The funding opportunity number is HRSA-12-068 and it is associated with CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). HRSA anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with estimated total funding of $1,176,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many entity types such as public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), special district governments, and faith-based and community-based organizations. The governing eligibility reference cited is 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a), which allows any public or private entity, including an Indian tribe or tribal organization as defined in federal statute, to apply. Beyond basic eligibility, applicants are expected to demonstrate substantial experience in pediatric health promotion and preventive services, especially in developing and implementing clinical guidelines, and they must show they can reach and engage large numbers of pediatric health care providers at national, state, and local levels. That capacity requirement reflects the programs emphasis on broad adoption, real-world implementation, and scaling effective approaches, rather than producing guidance that remains on paper.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the original announcement, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal and directed technical access questions to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support lines.
