Opportunity Summary:
The MCH Autism Intervention Research grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-197) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Maternal and Child Health Research Program. It was released as part of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB)/HRSA Combating Autism Act Initiative, authorized by the Combating Autism Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-416, Sec. 399BB). The central purpose of the opportunity is to support research that strengthens the evidence base for interventions that improve the health and overall well-being of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as well as other developmental disabilities. In practical terms, the program is looking to fund studies focused on evidence-based practices and intervention approaches, with an emphasis on outcomes that matter for day-to-day functioning, health, and quality of life for affected youth and their families.
The opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the Health funding activity category. HRSA anticipated making about 9 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding level of $1.7 million. Individual awards were capped at $300,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing associated with this program is 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs), which is the federal assistance catalog entry that groups this funding within the broader MCH framework.
Eligibility was limited to organizations capable of conducting the relevant research. Specifically, eligible applicants included public and nonprofit institutions of higher education and public or private nonprofit agencies that can perform research relating to ASD and other developmental disabilities. The announcement also notes that faith-based and community organizations could apply as long as they otherwise met the eligibility criteria, meaning they must be structured and qualified to carry out the type of research the program intends to support. The eligibility language emphasizes that this is a research-focused competition, so the fit is strongest for universities, research centers, nonprofit hospitals, and nonprofit organizations with established research capacity, appropriate infrastructure, and the ability to manage federal grant requirements.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on April 27, 2010, created on April 30, 2010, and had an application closing date of June 7, 2010 (with the original and current closing date being the same). The program was later archived on August 6, 2010, which simply indicates the application window has passed and the listing is maintained for recordkeeping and reference rather than active submission. Applicants looking for the full announcement details were directed to HRSA's posting link, and HRSA provided support through its call center and email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV), including phone-based assistance for those who had trouble accessing the full materials online.
Overall, this funding opportunity was designed to expand and refine intervention research for ASD and other developmental disabilities by investing in studies that evaluate, test, or build upon evidence-based practices, with the broader goal of improving health and well-being outcomes for children and adolescents in these populations.
