Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at HHS, announced a discretionary grant opportunity to fund a single organization to serve as a national training and technical assistance provider focused on refugee health and mental health. The purpose is to strengthen the capacity of refugee-serving agencies and mainstream service systems to better recognize and respond to the unique health and behavioral health risks, challenges, and long-term adjustment needs that refugees may face during resettlement and beyond. The program emphasizes both health promotion and disease prevention, alongside mental health supports that address trauma, stress, and ongoing acculturation pressures.
At the center of the opportunity is a cooperative agreement, meaning ORR expects substantial involvement and close collaboration with the grantee rather than a hands-off grant. The selected organization must have demonstrated expertise in refugee health and mental health and will be responsible for building practical, field-ready curriculum and training modules. These materials are intended for local and mainstream providers who interact with refugees through resettlement and integration pathways, including local voluntary agencies (VOLAGs), community-based organizations, health clinics and medical providers, English as a Second Language (ESL) programs, employment programs, and ethnic community organizations. While the work should prioritize recently arrived refugees, it must also address refugees who continue to experience adjustment distress in subsequent years, reflecting ORR's interest in long-term well-being and integration.
The funded provider is expected to function as an information clearinghouse that gathers, organizes, and distributes high-quality resources on refugee health and mental health. This includes producing and sharing materials such as literature reviews, case studies, epidemiological studies, population health backgrounders, fact sheets, and models for health promotion and disease prevention. Beyond simply posting resources, the program calls for active facilitation of information exchange and best-practice sharing across networks of providers and refugee-serving agencies. A major deliverable is the development and ongoing maintenance of a Refugee Well Being website, which would serve as a central hub for tools, guidance, and current information.
The technical assistance scope is broad and hands-on. The grantee must deliver workshops and trainings in multiple formats, including onsite sessions and web-based options, and provide individualized technical assistance and consultation by phone and electronically on refugee health and mental health topics. The role also includes supporting advocacy efforts related to comprehensive health and mental health needs, helping local agencies create effective outreach materials, and serving as a resource for medical institutions seeking guidance on refugee-specific considerations. In addition, the grantee is expected to further develop and manage ORR's Refugee Health Listserv, using it to disseminate timely information, connect practitioners, and promote consistent, evidence-informed approaches across the field.
Coordination is a core expectation. The technical assistance provider must work closely with the ORR Refugee Health Team and coordinate activities with other ORR-funded technical assistance providers when appropriate, so that guidance and training align with ORR priorities and complement related technical assistance efforts. The overall goal of this ORR-funded technical assistance is to improve the quality and effectiveness of services delivered to refugees and other ORR-eligible populations, supporting stronger long-term integration outcomes in the United States.
In terms of funding and structure, ORR anticipated making no more than one award for a 24-month project period, structured as two 12-month budget periods. The maximum award amount is $500,000 per 12-month budget period (the announcement notes a modification clarifying that the $500,000 cap applies per budget period rather than per total project period). The award ceiling is $500,000 and the award floor is $250,000. There is no matching or cost-sharing requirement.
Eligibility is relatively broad and includes public and private nonprofit agencies, faith-based and community organizations, state and local governments, certain school districts and special districts, and both public and private institutions of higher education. For-profit organizations (other than small businesses) are also listed as eligible. Individuals and foreign entities are not eligible to apply. The program is listed under CFDA 93.576 (Refugee and Entrant Assistance Discretionary Grants). The opportunity was posted June 15, 2010, with an application deadline of July 30, 2010, and electronic submissions via Grants.gov were required by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
