Opportunity Summary:
The Family to Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs) funding opportunity (HRSA-15-114) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The program is designed to strengthen support systems for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) by funding Centers that can directly assist families and also help the professionals who work with those families. At its core, the opportunity is focused on making sure families have practical, trustworthy guidance and real-world support as they navigate health care, services, and related systems for their children.
The purpose of the grant is to enable F2F HICs to deliver information, education, technical assistance, and peer support. In practice, that means the funded Centers are expected to be a go-to resource where families can learn about available services, understand options and requirements, and get help problem-solving through complex systems. The emphasis on peer support signals that the model values family-to-family assistance, not just formal professional advising, and that lived experience is considered an important part of helping families make informed decisions and advocate effectively.
HRSA anticipated making 51 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $5,000,000. The assistance is offered as a grant, listed under CFDA 93.504 (Family to Family Health Information Centers). The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes the program more accessible to community-based applicants that may not have flexible funds to meet match obligations. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as 0, which generally means applicants must rely on the full announcement for specific award amounts or that amounts vary based on program decisions rather than a fixed per-award range in the summary fields.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, explicitly including Indian tribes and tribal organizations (as defined under 25 U.S.C. 450b), faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. However, eligibility is geographically limited by law to organizations sited in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Tribes and tribal organizations are allowed to apply, but they must meet all standard program requirements, including providing services that target all CYSHCN across the state in which they operate, rather than a narrower or local-only service area.
Key dates associated with the opportunity show it was posted on October 23, 2014, with an original application closing date of December 16, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of December 29, 2014. The opportunity was archived on February 14, 2015, indicating this particular competition is closed, though the program itself may re-appear in later years through new HRSA announcements.
