Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity titled "Innovative Evidence Based Models for Improving the System of Services for CYSHCN" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-168) is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen how communities and states serve children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). The core goal is replication: HRSA is looking to fund applicants that can take an innovative, evidence-based model that is already working and reproduce or scale it in ways that measurably improve service systems for CYSHCN, especially for families and youth who are underserved or underrepresented.
The grant targets four specific program areas. First, outreach projects are meant to engage and empower families and youth in underserved and underrepresented populations, with an emphasis on bringing people into services, improving their ability to navigate systems, and ensuring their voices are included in decision-making. Second, care coordination projects focus on improving how services are organized across providers and settings, reducing fragmentation for families who often have to manage multiple clinicians, programs, and benefits. Third, blended or braided funding projects aim to improve access to integrated community services or close gaps by coordinating multiple funding streams more effectively; this is essentially about making different funding sources work together so families experience a more seamless set of supports. Fourth, access to a medical home projects are intended to expand or improve access to a consistent, comprehensive medical home model for children and youth, including those transitioning from pediatric to adult systems and those receiving care from non-traditional providers such as community health centers.
Eligibility is broad, but not open-ended. Under 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a), any public or private entity may apply, including Indian tribes or tribal organizations, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. However, applicants must already be implementing a community-level or statewide program serving CYSHCN and their families, and they must have the capacity to run a data-driven evaluation. In other words, HRSA is not funding brand-new concepts that are still hypothetical; it is funding organizations with a real operating program that can demonstrate outcomes, track performance, and credibly replicate an approach that has evidence behind it.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA expected to make about 10 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $865,000. The program falls under CFDA 93.110, Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have significant non-federal funds available. The opportunity was posted May 3, 2011, with closing dates listed in mid-June 2011 (originally June 13 and then updated to June 15), and it was later archived in August 2011.
Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and telephone support lines, and the full announcement was available through HRSA grants postings. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment in proven, practical service-delivery improvements for CYSHCN, with a strong emphasis on equity (reaching underserved groups), system integration (coordination and funding alignment), and continuity of care (medical home access, including transition to adult services), backed by measurable evaluation.
