Opportunity Summary:
The Guidelines for Women's Preventive Services grant opportunity (HRSA 16-057) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS-HRSA). Its central purpose is to improve adult women's health across the lifespan by convening and coordinating a coalition of health professional organizations that will recommend updates to the HRSA-supported Women's Preventive Services Guidelines. These guidelines matter because they connect directly to insurance coverage requirements under Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the Affordable Care Act. In practical terms, for non-grandfathered group health plans and non-grandfathered group and individual health insurance coverage, the preventive services identified under this authority must be covered without cost sharing, including the services described in the HRSA-supported Women's Preventive Services Guidelines. The grant therefore supports work that can influence what preventive services are emphasized in clinical care and what services patients can access without out-of-pocket costs under applicable plans.
The project is structured around building an ongoing, repeatable guideline-update mechanism rather than producing a one-time report. Applicants are expected to establish a formal process for developing and regularly recommending updates to the women's preventive services guidelines, ensuring that updates can keep pace with emerging evidence and changing clinical practice. A major emphasis is also placed on securing active participation from relevant health professional organizations so that the guideline recommendations reflect multidisciplinary expertise and have credibility and buy-in across the health care field. Another key component is the evidence function: the awardee is expected to review and synthesize existing guidelines as well as new scientific evidence related to women's preventive services, then use that synthesis to develop recommended guideline updates. Finally, the opportunity highlights dissemination as an essential deliverable, meaning the work should not stop at producing recommendations; it must also support distribution and uptake of the HRSA-supported comprehensive guidelines for real-world clinical use.
HRSA frames this opportunity as advancing multiple agency strategic goals. It aligns with Goal I, improving access to quality care and services, by strengthening health systems that deliver quality services and by promoting innovative and cost-efficient approaches to improving health. It supports Goal II, strengthening the health workforce, by helping ensure providers are prepared to deliver high-quality care that is culturally and linguistically appropriate, which is especially relevant when translating guideline recommendations into everyday practice across diverse settings. It also advances Goal III, building healthy communities, by emphasizing prevention and health promotion across populations and communities and encouraging collaboration that helps communities strengthen resources that improve health. Finally, it supports Goal IV, improving health equity, by aiming to reduce disparities in care quality, and by encouraging monitoring, identification, and advancement of evidence-based and promising practices that can close equity gaps in preventive care.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial federal involvement or partnership during the project period compared with a standard grant. The opportunity was posted on November 3, 2015, with a closing date of January 4, 2016. The expected number of awards was one, indicating HRSA intended to support a single coordinating entity to lead this national guideline-update effort. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.110, and the activity category is Health. Although an award ceiling is listed as 0 in the summary data provided, that field can sometimes reflect formatting or posting limitations rather than the practical budget expectations, so applicants would normally rely on the full notice for definitive funding details.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as support for a national-level, evidence-based guideline maintenance and update enterprise: convene experts, evaluate the evolving science, produce updated preventive service recommendations for women, and ensure those recommendations are disseminated for clinical implementation, all within a framework that supports access, workforce readiness, community health, and equity.
