Opportunity Summary:

The FY10 Promote, Support and Build Capacity in the Medical Reserve Corps grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SG MRC 10 001) was a discretionary federal funding announcement released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. Its purpose was to solicit proposals that would strengthen the national Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) network by promoting the program, supporting existing efforts, and expanding overall capacity. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at helping the MRC function more effectively as a coordinated network of medical and public health volunteers who can support communities in routine public health activities and in emergencies.

This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That distinction matters because a cooperative agreement signals that the federal government expected to be substantially involved in the project during the period of performance. In this context, “substantial involvement” means the selected recipient should anticipate ongoing programmatic collaboration with HHS, including federal participation or engagement in managing and carrying out the work. The structure implies a close working relationship where the agency is not just providing funds, but is also actively partnering to shape implementation, monitor progress, and align work with federal MRC objectives.

The announcement projected a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The total estimated funding for year one was exactly $5,650,000, and the opportunity listed an award floor and ceiling that matched that figure, indicating the intent to make one award at the full amount rather than multiple smaller awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

The funding activity category was Health, and the related CFDA listing included 93.008, associated with the Medical Reserve Corps Small Grant Program. Eligibility was broadly described as “public and nonprofit private entities,” with the formal eligibility category shown as “Others,” and the listing noted that additional details were to be found in the full announcement’s eligibility section. The synopsis itself did not provide further eligibility clarification beyond that pointer.

Key dates show the opportunity’s lifecycle in 2010. It was posted on March 8, 2010, with a recorded creation date of March 26, 2010. The application deadline was May 7, 2010 (with no amended closing date explanation, meaning the deadline remained unchanged). The opportunity was archived on June 6, 2010, consistent with the period after the closing date when agencies typically finalize review and award decisions.

For access and application support, the notice directed applicants who had trouble retrieving the full announcement online to contact the Grants.gov Contact Center. It provided a phone number (1-800-518-4726), operating hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern), and an email address (support@grants.gov), indicating that Grants.gov was the primary portal for obtaining the full opportunity materials and handling submission-related issues.
