Opportunity Summary:
The Maternal and Child Health Workforce Development Centers grant opportunity (HRSA-13-265) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the skills and readiness of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) workforce connected to State Title V programs. The core aim is to help current and future Title V leaders and staff respond to major policy and operational demands tied to Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation and broader public health system transformation. In practical terms, the program is trying to make sure MCH programs in states and jurisdictions have staff who can plan, lead, and execute modern public health strategies in a changing health coverage and delivery environment.
HRSA’s approach is to fund up to four national training hubs, each typically centered in an institution of higher education, with each hub focusing on one major topic area. Alternatively, HRSA may fund a single consolidated center that covers all four topics under one coordinated structure. The four priority topic areas are: access to care, quality improvement, systems integration, and population health management. These topics reflect the kinds of competencies Title V agencies increasingly need, such as improving coverage and service access for women, infants, children, and families; applying quality improvement methods to programs and services; connecting and aligning services across agencies and sectors; and using population-level data and management strategies to improve outcomes and reduce disparities.
A key expectation is that these centers do not operate in isolation. If separate topic-specific centers are funded, they are required to work closely with one another to coordinate training, avoid duplication, share resources, and collectively meet overall national workforce development goals. Each center (or the consolidated center) is responsible for designing and carrying out a national training strategy aligned to its focus area(s), with the intent of producing meaningful, measurable improvements in Title V workforce capacity across the 59 states and jurisdictions. The emphasis on a national strategy signals that HRSA is looking for scalable training models, broadly applicable tools, and consistent capacity-building rather than one-off or purely local training efforts.
The program strongly emphasizes academic-practice partnerships. Applicants must be public or nonprofit private institutions of higher learning, consistent with 42 CFR Part 51a.3(b), and they are expected to have substantial experience running effective partnerships between academia and public health practice settings. The centers are expected to collaborate formally and informally with State Title V programs and, where appropriate, other national partners. This partnership requirement reflects the idea that workforce training should be grounded in real operational needs from Title V agencies while still leveraging the curriculum design, research, evaluation capacity, and convening power of universities and similar institutions.
From an applicant logistics perspective, the opportunity allows multiple applications from the same organization. An institution can apply to run more than one workforce development center, but it must submit separate, complete applications for each proposed center, including all required sections and attachments. An applicant can also pursue a consolidated center application and still submit additional applications for topic-specific centers, which creates flexibility for institutions with capacity spanning multiple domains while preserving HRSA’s ability to fund either a hub-and-spoke model or a single unified national hub.
In terms of funding details, this is a discretionary grant program using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means HRSA expects substantial federal involvement during the project period (for example, close coordination on deliverables, training priorities, and national alignment). The funding opportunity listed an anticipated total of four awards, with an award ceiling of $460,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was April 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2013, and an archive date of July 2, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs).
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a national capacity-building effort aimed at making Title V MCH agencies stronger leaders in ACA-era and post-ACA public health practice. By funding university-based training hubs that are tightly linked to on-the-ground Title V needs and that coordinate with one another, HRSA is attempting to create consistent, high-quality training and technical assistance that can be used broadly across states and jurisdictions, especially in the four areas most tied to modern health system performance: access, quality, integration, and population health management.

What is a "consolidated center" under this opportunity?
A consolidated center is a single center funded to address all four priority topic areas (access to care, quality improvement, systems integration, and population health management) under one coordinated structure, rather than having separate centers for each topic.
If HRSA funds separate topic-specific centers, do they have to coordinate with each other?
Yes. If separate topic-specific centers are funded, they are required to work closely with one another to coordinate training, avoid duplication, share resources, and collectively meet overall national workforce development goals.
What is meant by a "national training strategy" in this program?
Each center (or the consolidated center) is responsible for designing and carrying out a national training strategy aligned to its focus area(s). The emphasis on a national strategy indicates HRSA is looking for scalable training models, broadly applicable tools, and consistent capacity-building across states and jurisdictions rather than one-off or purely local training efforts.
