Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) offered this discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity, titled "Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 13-261), under CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). The program focuses on preventing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) by closing persistent knowledge and practice gaps among health care providers. HRSA highlights an ongoing problem: many clinicians still believe that small amounts of alcohol during pregnancy may be safe, even though the evidence base indicates that any alcohol exposure during pregnancy can put a child at risk. The core intent of the award is therefore provider-facing education that strengthens prevention through consistent messaging, better screening, and appropriate referral to treatment when alcohol use is identified.
The funded recipient is expected to work collaboratively, which is typical of a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA anticipates an active partnership rather than a hands-off grant. The selected applicant would partner with professional organizations to reach a broad range of health professionals, such as physicians, nurses, and related clinical staff. The practical output emphasized in the announcement is the development and dissemination of educational materials that can be used in real-world clinical settings, supporting providers in communicating alcohol-related risks during pregnancy, implementing screening approaches, and connecting patients to interventions or treatment resources when needed. In short, the opportunity is structured around building and spreading tools and guidance that change day-to-day clinical practice and strengthen prevention at the point of care.
Funding was planned as a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $478,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant pool was broad, including state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category). Eligibility also explicitly extended, under 42 CFR 51a.3(a), to any public or private entity, including Indian tribes and tribal organizations as defined in federal statute, and it noted that faith-based and community-based organizations could apply as well.
Key dates show it was posted June 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2013, and it was archived September 10, 2013. HRSA listed the HRSA Call Center as the access and support contact for applicants needing help retrieving the full announcement, available by phone (877-464-4772) or email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV).
