Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program (HTPCP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from HHS HRSA (CFDA 93.110; Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-008) designed to improve access to health care for children, adolescents, and their families across the United States by investing in innovative, community-based prevention and health promotion efforts. The program aligns with HRSA priorities around expanding access to quality services, strengthening healthy communities, and advancing health equity. A key point is that HTPCP funds service delivery and practical community or clinical interventions, not research projects. Applications are expected to propose either an entirely new community initiative or a clearly innovative new component added to an existing program, meaning applicants need to demonstrate novelty, local relevance, and a direct link to community-identified needs.
HTPCP focuses on developing, implementing, and evaluating cost-effective approaches that advance preventive child health and developmental goals for vulnerable children and families, especially those with limited access to quality health services. Collaboration is central to the program: proposals are expected to bring together community organizations, agencies, businesses, families, and health professionals in a coordinated way. The program also places special emphasis on involving pediatricians and other pediatric primary care providers (including family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) in community-based service strategies. In addition, HTPCP aims to build durable partnerships that include health, education, social services, and government stakeholders, with explicit reference to coordination with State Title V programs and coverage programs such as Medicaid and the Childrens Health Insurance Program, so that projects can move toward becoming self-sustaining beyond the federal grant period.
Applicants are encouraged to design projects in topic areas that commonly drive long-term health and developmental outcomes, including early childhood development, school readiness, developmental and behavioral pediatrics, medical home models (with stronger family and youth engagement), care coordination and case management, oral health, behavioral and mental health, school-based health, and nutrition and physical activity strategies that support healthy weight. The program also supports the thoughtful use of innovative health information technology to broaden access and connect stakeholders across the community, along with strategies that improve outreach, enrollment, and navigation so families can obtain and effectively use health insurance and preventive services.
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau encourages applicants to build proposals around Bright Futures for Infants, Children and Adolescents, a widely used set of evidence-informed preventive care guidelines and materials that strengthen well-child care and preventive screening from birth through age 21. In practical terms, the opportunity suggests that applicants can incorporate Bright Futures concepts into settings like home visiting, child care, and school-based clinics, and can use Bright Futures materials to strengthen family engagement, anticipatory guidance, and preventive service consistency across partners. The broader expectation is that funded projects will translate evidence-based guidance into real-world community systems and workflows rather than simply producing new studies.
A defining feature of HTPCP is the expectation of sustainability and long-term community impact after grant funding ends. The announcement highlights historical evidence that a large share of HTPCP projects continue in some form well beyond the grant period, and it underscores a track record of measurable outcomes and cost savings when prevention is implemented effectively. One example described is a community asthma initiative that reduced emergency department visits and hospitalizations and produced documented savings relative to prevention spending, later becoming a model replicated elsewhere. The program also emphasizes serving underserved communities and improving cultural and linguistic responsiveness, encouraging applicants to embed equity-focused strategies, psychosocial supports, and evaluation measures that can identify and address drivers of poor outcomes among vulnerable populations.
Over a five-year project period, awardees are expected to design and pilot innovative clinical, public health, and potentially public policy interventions in community settings; deliver preventive and clinical services aligned with local needs (examples cited include obesity prevention, smoking cessation, and behavioral health assessments); strengthen family-centered, community-based initiatives; provide technical assistance and resources to professionals, consumers, families, and partner agencies (including Title V and others); and evaluate and assess the impact of the program. The solicitation notes that building a competitive application requires early planning and recommends using the program proposal development guide to support key components such as a community assessment, partnership strategy, evaluation plan, and budget development.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a grant with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2016, an expected eight awards, and eligibility described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The notice also lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the ceiling is not specified in the summarized field and applicants should consult the full funding announcement for the actual budget limits and any match or cost sharing requirements.
