Opportunity Summary:
The MCH Research grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-006) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on applied research in maternal and child health (MCH) services. Its main purpose is to fund research projects that can meaningfully add to what is already known in the MCH field and, just as importantly, produce findings that can translate into real improvements in health outcomes and health service delivery in states and local communities. In other words, this is not basic science; it is practice-oriented research aimed at strengthening systems, services, and results for mothers, infants, children, and related populations.
The program emphasizes research that tackles high-priority, real-world questions in maternal and child health. Proposed projects are expected to address issues such as how public health systems and infrastructure function and can be improved, how health disparities arise and can be reduced, how quality of care can be measured and raised, and how to promote and protect the health of MCH populations overall. The program’s framing suggests HRSA is looking for studies that are useful to decision-makers and practitioners, including evidence that can guide policies, program design, implementation strategies, and service delivery models that can be adopted or scaled by states and communities.
Funding for this opportunity was estimated at $4.2 million total, with an anticipated 24 awards. Individual awards could be as high as $300,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Health. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs).
Eligibility is limited and specifically tied to maternal and child health services research capacity. Only public or nonprofit institutions of higher education, and public or private nonprofit agencies that are engaged in research or in programs related to maternal and child health and/or services for children with special health care needs, are eligible to apply. The eligibility basis is cited as 42 CFR Part 51a.3(b), reflecting the statutory and regulatory boundaries around who can receive these MCH research funds. For practical purposes, this points to universities, research centers, and nonprofit organizations with a demonstrated role in MCH research or service programs, including those serving children with special health care needs.
Key timing details indicate the announcement was posted on June 19, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 1, 2009, and it was archived on September 6, 2009. While this specific listing is historical (archived), it provides a clear picture of HRSA’s priorities for MCH services research: projects with strong applied value, relevance to system and service improvement, and the potential to reduce disparities and improve quality across maternal and child health populations.
For applicants or researchers who need the original announcement materials, HRSA provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal, and support was available through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, 877-464-4772), including assistance for those who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
