Opportunity Summary:
The MCH Distance Learning grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10 084) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aimed at strengthening the maternal and child health (MCH) workforce through high-quality distance education. The program focuses on supporting the full lifecycle of distance learning for MCH professionals, including the development, implementation, innovative use, application, and evaluation of distance education and continuing education activities. The intent is to expand access to training for professionals who serve mothers, infants, children, and families by delivering learning opportunities that can reach audiences beyond a single local area.
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) aligns this funding with its strategic priorities for MCH training, and it signals specific interest in content areas that build practical workforce capacity. Priority topics include MCH leadership competencies (skills and knowledge that help professionals lead programs, manage systems, and drive improvements), cultural competency and family-centered care (training that improves responsiveness to diverse communities and meaningfully incorporates families in care and decision-making), and best practices in interdisciplinary training (education that supports coordinated work across disciplines such as medicine, public health, nursing, social work, and related fields). In addition to these general priorities, the announcement notes that at least one award is expected to be targeted specifically toward translating new evidence-based knowledge into policy and practice, meaning projects that not only teach emerging evidence but also help learners apply it in real-world systems, programs, guidelines, or decision processes.
A key requirement is that funded projects must provide continuing education to a regional and/or national audience, emphasizing broad reach rather than training limited to a single institution or narrow local group. This suggests that proposed distance learning models should be designed for scalability and dissemination, with attention to how the training will be delivered, who it will reach, and how learning outcomes and impact will be evaluated.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at 300,000 in total, with an expectation of three awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is listed under CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). The opportunity was posted on January 12, 2010, with a closing date that ultimately moved to February 26, 2010, and it was archived on April 20, 2010.
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 appropriate regional accrediting bodies, as well as teaching hospitals that have higher learning among their purposes and functions and that maintain a formal affiliation with an accredited school of medicine and a full-time academic medical staff holding faculty status within that medical school. In practical terms, the opportunity is intended for accredited academic institutions and affiliated teaching hospitals positioned to design and deliver rigorous training.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement or assistance accessing it, HRSA provided a link to the posting and directs technical access questions to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support via 877-464-4772, with an alternate number listed as 301-998-7373.
