Opportunity Summary:
The Early and Continuous Screening in the Medical Home Program (HRSA-10-128) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to create a single national Center that partners closely with pediatric health care professionals to strengthen early, routine, and ongoing screening within the family- and patient-centered medical home. The program is focused on improving how pediatric practices identify concerns as early as possible and then reliably connect children and families to appropriate follow-up, care coordination, and supports. Screening priorities named in the announcement include congenital and heritable disorders, sensory impairments (such as hearing and vision issues), developmental delay, autism, mental health conditions, and broader psychosocial problems that can affect a child and family.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is awareness and practice change. The Center is expected to help pediatric providers understand why early and continuous screening matters, and to increase consistent use of established, evidence-based guidance. In particular, the program aims to expand routine use of Bright Futures guidelines along with other evidence-based screening guidelines and validated screening tools, so that screening is not ad hoc or uneven across practices. Beyond screening itself, the grant stresses building and testing practical strategies that improve what happens after a screen, especially ensuring timely follow-up, appropriate referrals, and care coordination inside the medical home model, with families treated as active partners in decision-making.
The Center is also expected to function as a hub for measurement and improvement by collecting, analyzing, and applying both quantitative and qualitative data to track screening progress and gaps. This includes monitoring how well screening efforts are being implemented, where follow-up breaks down, and which approaches produce better outcomes in real-world pediatric settings. Another core responsibility is stakeholder engagement, especially to address access and availability of screening for medically underserved populations. This component highlights that screening improvements should not only raise overall performance, but also reduce disparities by tackling barriers faced by communities with limited resources, limited specialty access, geographic isolation, or other structural obstacles.
The funding opportunity was posted on December 16, 2009, with an application closing date of February 22, 2010, and it was archived on April 23, 2010. HRSA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $500,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement and ongoing collaboration between HRSA and the recipient in carrying out program goals.
Eligibility is broad under 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a), allowing any public or private entity to apply, including Indian tribes and Tribal organizations (as defined in 25 U.S.C. 450(b)). The announcement also notes that, consistent with a presidential initiative at the time, otherwise-eligible community-based and faith-based organizations were encouraged to apply if they believed they could meaningfully contribute to HRSA program objectives. For full announcement access issues, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV; 877-464-4772; 301-998-7373), and provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal.

What does the program mean by "early and continuous screening"?

What is meant by the "family- and patient-centered medical home" in this program?

Which screening priorities are specifically named in the announcement?
The announcement names screening priorities that include congenital and heritable disorders; sensory impairments (such as hearing and vision issues); developmental delay; autism; mental health conditions; and broader psychosocial problems that can affect a child and family.
Is the focus only on doing more screening, or also on what happens after screening?
It includes both. In addition to improving screening consistency, a major focus is on building and testing practical strategies that strengthen what happens after a screen, including timely follow-up, appropriate referrals, and care coordination within the medical home.
What kind of practice change is HRSA looking for through this Center?
The opportunity emphasizes awareness and practice change. The Center is expected to help pediatric providers understand why early and continuous screening matters and to increase consistent use of established, evidence-based guidance so screening is not inconsistent across practices.

The announcement describes using both quantitative and qualitative data to monitor screening implementation, identify gaps, understand where follow-up fails, and assess which approaches produce better outcomes in real-world pediatric settings.
How does the program address disparities and medically underserved populations?
Stakeholder engagement is a core responsibility, with specific emphasis on improving access and availability of screening for medically underserved populations.
