Opportunity Summary:
The MCH Knowledge to Practice (KP) Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the skills of practicing maternal and child health professionals, not just students in graduate training programs. The core idea is to close the gap between new knowledge and day-to-day practice by helping professionals quickly absorb and apply up-to-date research findings, emerging technologies, and best practices that improve services for mothers, infants, children, and families. The program is explicitly tied to HRSA priorities around improving access to quality care and services, strengthening the health workforce, and advancing health equity.
A central feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on knowledge-to-practice education models that fit the realities of the current workforce. It highlights common barriers that make traditional in-person continuing education harder to sustain, such as tighter travel rules, limited staffing capacity, difficulty taking time away from work, and the high cost of training. To address these constraints, the program prioritizes distance learning and blended learning approaches (some in-person time combined with online follow-up). Applicants are encouraged to use innovative, newer technologies to reach busy professionals efficiently, especially in an era of limited resources. Importantly, proposals must show that they are meeting an education or training need that is not already covered by other HRSA-supported efforts, specifically mentioning Public Health Training Centers (PHTCs) and Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) as examples of existing investments that applicants should not duplicate.
The funding initiative supports two connected components. First are the Knowledge to Practice grants (up to nine awards), which are intended to raise the competency of MCH professionals by accelerating the transfer of new information into real-world programs that serve mothers and children. These grants can use on-site, distance, or blended strategies, but they must include a distance learning component to ensure the project reaches a broad audience and has regional and/or national significance. The expectation is that technology-enabled learning will expand interdisciplinary skills, strengthen the MCH workforce, and extend impact beyond a single local setting.
Second is the MCH Navigator Program (one cooperative agreement), which is designed to complement the KP grants by serving as a central, web-based access point for MCH learning resources. The Navigator is meant to connect learners to open-access webcasts, presentations, instructional modules, and online courses that cover essential MCH skills and knowledge. A major purpose is to make sure content produced through the KP grants, MCH graduate education programs, and other continuing education developers is easy to find and usable by the broader MCH Title V and public health communities. The Navigator is described as having four main areas of responsibility: strategic and collaborative assessment and planning; communications and outreach; direction and guidance related to innovation development and content quality; and accountability and evaluation.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary HRSA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-13-197) under CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). It anticipated up to nine grant awards for the KP portion. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited by regulation to public or nonprofit private institutions of higher learning (as cited in 42 CFR Part 51a.3(b)) for the training grants. The opportunity was originally posted February 7, 2013, with a closing date of March 26, 2013, and it is archived as of May 25, 2013. For access issues, HRSA directed applicants to its call center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV; 877-464-4772).
