Opportunity Summary:
The Donation and Transplantation Community of Practice Initiatives to Increase Organ Donation (DTCPIOD) funding opportunity, issued by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), was a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support one national project focused on strengthening organ donation and transplantation efforts in the United States. The central purpose was to fund an eligible organization to work in close collaboration with HRSA to plan, strategically develop, and implement a coordinated, comprehensive set of programs and professional experiences designed to increase organ donation and improve transplantation outcomes. Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, HRSA anticipated having substantial involvement in the project beyond what is typical for a standard grant, meaning the recipient would be expected to coordinate actively with the agency on planning, execution, and ongoing refinement of activities.
The opportunity was posted on February 1, 2011 (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11 140) and closed on March 17, 2011, with an archive date of May 16, 2011. HRSA expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding level of $3,000,000. The program fell under CFDA 93.134, Grants to Increase Organ Donations. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduced barriers for eligible applicants and signaled that HRSA intended to fully support the core work through federal funding rather than requiring recipients to bring additional non-federal dollars.
Eligibility was tied to Section 377A(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 274f-1b). HRSA indicated that eligible applicants could include nonprofit private or public entities, which may encompass state and local governments, Indian Tribal Governments, institutions of higher education, and other nonprofit organizations such as faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as Tribal organizations. For-profit organizations were allowed to participate as partners or collaborators within a project, but they were not permitted to serve as the applicant institution or primary award recipient. In practice, this structure encourages broad coalition building while keeping the federal award anchored in a public or nonprofit entity aligned with the statutory intent of supporting organ donation-related public benefit activities.
The project concept emphasized building a "community of practice" model: a structured, collaborative approach that brings together relevant stakeholders to share proven strategies, develop professional capacity, and implement coordinated initiatives that can increase donor registration, improve donation processes, and ultimately increase the availability of organs for transplantation. While the brief synopsis does not enumerate specific required components, the phrasing "comprehensive group of programs and professional experiences" implies multiple, mutually reinforcing activities rather than a single campaign or isolated intervention. This could include training and professional development for key personnel, dissemination of effective practices, and coordinated programmatic efforts that connect education, systems improvement, and stakeholder engagement in a way that is scalable and measurable.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed access to the full announcement at the time, HRSA provided an online listing and support through the HRSA Call Center. The point of contact listed was CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, with phone support available via 877-464-4772 (also referenced as 877-Go4-HRSA), and an additional number provided as 301-998-7373. The official announcement link was hosted on the HRSA grants site.
