Opportunity Summary:
The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Interdisciplinary Education in Pediatric Pulmonary Centers (PPCs) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-074) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). Its central goal is to improve the health status of infants, children, and youth who live with chronic respiratory conditions by strengthening the workforce, advancing family-centered care, and promoting broader systems and policy improvements that affect Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN).
The program is built around four interconnected aims that PPC applicants are expected to address. First, PPCs are intended to function as high-performing training hubs that provide interdisciplinary leadership education at both graduate and post-graduate levels. Training must span five core disciplines: pediatric pulmonary medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition, and family leadership. This emphasis reflects an expectation that chronic respiratory care is best delivered by coordinated teams, not isolated specialists. Funded centers are also expected to operate as models of excellence not only in training, but in systems integration and research tied to chronic respiratory conditions across infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
Second, the opportunity places strong weight on engaging families as full partners. This goes beyond patient or caregiver input and instead emphasizes meaningful collaboration in clinical practice, policy approaches, and research activities. In practical terms, this aim reinforces family-centered practice and promotes the idea that families should help shape how services are delivered and evaluated, particularly for conditions requiring long-term management and navigation of complex care systems.
Third, PPCs are expected to influence policy and practice at both regional and national levels, using a public health and population-based approach. The announcement highlights collaboration with state and local health agencies and with provider communities, signaling that funded centers should not remain confined to academic or hospital settings. Instead, they should serve as a bridge between clinical expertise and broader systems improvement work, helping ensure the next generation of providers advances the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) mission of improving access to care for CYSHCN through coordinated system changes.
Fourth, the program explicitly calls for support of diverse trainees and faculty and for the use of cultural and linguistic competence strategies to address health disparities related to chronic respiratory conditions. This aim reflects a recognition that respiratory outcomes and access to specialty care often vary by geography, race and ethnicity, language, income, and other social factors. Applicants are therefore expected to embed equity-oriented workforce development and practice approaches into training and program design.
In terms of funding scale, HRSA anticipated making around six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,040,000 for the competition. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on January 20, 2015, with an application closing date of March 23, 2015, and it was later archived on May 22, 2015. While the posted award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the extracted data, that typically reflects how certain listings were captured or displayed rather than implying no funding; the estimated total funding and expected award count provide the clearer funding context.
Eligibility is limited by regulation (42 CFR Part 51a.3(b)) to public or nonprofit private institutions of higher learning. This includes accredited colleges and universities recognized by regional accrediting bodies approved by the U.S. Department of Education. It also includes teaching hospitals that have higher education among their formal purposes and functions, provided they maintain a formal affiliation with an accredited school of medicine and have a full-time academic medical staff holding faculty status within that medical school structure. In other words, the program is designed for academic and academic-affiliated training environments with the infrastructure to run interdisciplinary education and leadership development programs.
For applicant support and access issues, HRSA provided a point of contact through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with Claudia Brown, MSN listed as the contact person (cbrown4@hrsa.gov; phone (301) 443-08 ext. 69 as shown in the source text).
