Opportunity Summary:
The HRSA Family/Professional Partnership/CSHCN opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-147; CFDA 93.110) funded two cooperative agreements to operate national-level technical assistance centers focused on improving systems of care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN). With an estimated total program funding level of $1,320,000 and no cost sharing requirement, the grant was designed to strengthen how families, providers, and public programs work together so that families are true partners in decision making and report better experiences with the services they receive. In practical terms, the program centered on building national infrastructure that helps state Title V CYSHCN programs and their partners adopt and sustain family-centered care, with measurable improvements in partnership practices and outcomes.
A major part of the opportunity was the National Center for Family/Professional Partnerships. This center was intended to be family-led and to create a national community of learners and mentors that supports State Title V CYSHCN programs, Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs), and related partners. The work emphasized helping families become informed, effective partners in decision making at every level, from individual care planning to program and policy development. A key expectation was ongoing technical assistance and consultation, including connecting mentor family and center consultants to each other and to other MCHB-funded initiatives so that promising practices spread more quickly and states do not have to solve the same problems in isolation.
Another central component was the National Center for Cultural Competence. Its purpose was to increase the ability of health programs and their partners to design, implement, and evaluate culturally and linguistically competent service delivery and support systems, specifically for CYSHCN and also for SIDS/OID-related efforts. This center focused on embedding cultural competence into state implementation work tied to the established core outcomes for CYSHCN systems of care. It also aimed to help programs involve and better serve diverse consumers and communities, strengthen training curricula, and improve recruitment and retention of culturally and linguistically diverse trainees and faculty across MCHB-funded training programs. In effect, it pushed programs to move beyond general commitments to equity by building concrete skills, tools, and accountability for culturally and linguistically responsive practice.
Across both centers, deliverables went beyond direct training and consultation. The announcement called for developing and disseminating practical resource materials and products such as fact sheets and published articles, maintaining and updating an informational website, and operating a technical assistance and training process that functions as a real community of learners and mentors. Another major expectation was data work: collecting, analyzing, and expanding evidence-based information on family issues, outcomes from F2F HICs and other partners, the status of family/professional partnerships nationwide, and progress toward family-centered care. This emphasis on measurement and learning reflects the intent to make the centers not only service providers but also national hubs for continuous improvement and shared evidence.
Eligibility was broad under 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a). Any public or private entity could apply, including Indian tribes or tribal organizations (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 450(b)), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, as long as they could document prior experience relevant to the review criteria and proposed scope. The sponsor agency was the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, signaling substantial federal involvement and collaboration during the project period rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The opportunity was posted November 5, 2008, with a closing date of December 19, 2008, and it was later archived February 8, 2009. Applicants needing access assistance were directed to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV; 877-464-4772). The overarching theme tying the work together was non-negotiable integration of core values: family-centered care, family/professional partnerships, and cultural and linguistic competence. The announcement stressed that these values had to be built into both centers policies and day-to-day activities, not treated as optional or purely symbolic priorities.
