Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Start Leadership Training Institute (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-165) is a discretionary grant offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.926, the Healthy Start Initiative. The central aim of this opportunity is to strengthen the knowledge and leadership skills of Healthy Start Project Directors and to build the capacity of their local Healthy Start programs to address persistent maternal and child health challenges, especially those tied to infant mortality and improving perinatal outcomes. In practical terms, the grant is designed to support a national-level training institute or comparable effort that helps project leaders better understand and respond to the clinical, public health, and social service factors that influence pregnancy, birth, and infant health outcomes in the communities served by Healthy Start.
Funded activities must directly involve Healthy Start Project Directors as the primary audience, along with their staff who are responsible for designing, managing, and implementing health and social services. The focus is on the needs of vulnerable women, infants, and families served by federally funded Healthy Start projects across the United States. The intent is not simply general professional development, but targeted leadership training that equips program leadership teams to improve program performance and outcomes related to infant mortality and perinatal health. While the announcement does not list a detailed curriculum in the provided excerpt, the emphasis clearly points toward building practical capacity for program planning and implementation in maternal and child health settings where risk is high and services often need to be coordinated across medical care, public health systems, and community-based supports.
The award structure is very specific: HRSA expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $350,000, indicating a single fixed-size grant rather than a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to meet a match.
Eligibility is broad and includes any public or nonprofit private entity. Eligible applicants explicitly include Indian tribes and tribal organizations (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b), as well as faith-based and community organizations, provided they meet the public/nonprofit requirement. This eligibility language suggests HRSA was open to a wide range of capable national or regional organizations with experience in training, technical assistance, and maternal and child health program support, as long as they could credibly deliver leadership training tailored to Healthy Start program operations and outcomes.
Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted and created on February 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on June 30, 2009, meaning it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding HRSA priorities and the type of capacity-building work the agency funds within the Healthy Start portfolio.
For applicant support or help accessing the full announcement, HRSA directed interested parties to the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772, also listed as 877-Go4-HRSA) and email support at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
