Opportunity Summary:
The Medical Home Implementation for Children with Special Health Care Needs grant (HRSA-13-216) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity to create and operate a single National Center for Medical Home Implementation. The center is intended to function as a national hub that helps expand and spread the pediatric medical home model across the country, with a strong emphasis on children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN), as well as children and youth who are vulnerable, medically underserved, or served through state public health and Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) programs. In parallel, the center is also expected to support the Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program (HTPCP) grantees by strengthening innovative community-based projects and cross-sector partnerships that improve children s health.
At its core, the opportunity is about taking the medical home approach beyond individual clinics and making it easier for communities and states to adopt, improve, and sustain it. The center is expected to raise awareness and expand access to information about the medical home model, including related policy initiatives that help systems move toward medical homes for children and youth. A major part of the work involves helping states and local communities spread and sustain medical homes through partnership building and structured quality improvement methods, such as learning collaboratives and improvement partnerships. The center is also charged with promoting a team-based, integrated approach among health care professionals, including safety net providers, so care is coordinated across the full continuum of services that families rely on, not only medical care but also education, social services, and public health supports.
Another key emphasis is community-level problem solving and public-private collaboration. The center is expected to encourage pediatric clinician participation in local partnership efforts and align with initiatives like the Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Initiative and Project LAUNCH, while also engaging private sector support where possible. The goal is to improve coordination and access to a wide range of services, including mental, oral, and physical health care, as well as non-clinical supports that often determine whether families can actually follow through on care plans. Examples named in the announcement include home visiting, early care and education settings such as child care and Head Start, early intervention, child welfare, and education systems. The center must also identify and share strategies that have been tested in the real world for strengthening family-professional partnerships and delivering family-centered care at the practice, organizational, and system levels.
The announcement places heavy weight on practical tools and skill-building for clinicians and care teams. The center is expected to equip pediatric clinicians with resources such as the Building Your Medical Home Toolkit and strengthen competencies in areas like communication, care coordination, cultural competence, consistent use of standardized guidelines, and performance reporting. A related expectation is building capacity for data use: the center should help clinicians and partners collect, analyze, and apply both quantitative and qualitative data to continuously improve care, generate evidence that supports ongoing adoption of the medical home model for CSHCN, and identify the factors that make projects sustainable and effective. Monitoring and evaluation are not optional add-ons; the center must evaluate its own activities and results and use findings to guide improvement and dissemination.
In addition to the broad medical home implementation mission, the center has explicit responsibilities tied to the Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program. It must provide consultation and technical assistance to HTPCP participants, monitor and assess project outcomes, and share effective strategies for implementation, evaluation, quality improvement, and long-term sustainability. The announcement highlights dissemination methods like webinars, topical communities of practice, and maintaining a website presence to spread lessons learned and practical guidance. The center is also expected to identify barriers that keep providers from participating in maternal and child health services for medically underserved and socially and economically disadvantaged pregnant women, children, and youth, including barriers that limit provider engagement in community problem solving.
Workforce and training show up as another important deliverable. The center should promote community training opportunities for pediatric residents, medical students, and graduate-level learners in clinical and public health MCH training programs, especially those interested in delivering care, shaping policy, or advancing advocacy in medical home or community-based settings. Beyond encouraging training, the center is expected to disseminate effective approaches for putting these community training initiatives into practice so they can be replicated and scaled.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA would have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The opportunity anticipated one award with an award ceiling of 800,031 dollars, no required cost sharing or match, and a CFDA listing of 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). Eligible applicants were broad and included public and private entities such as state, county, and local governments; nonprofit organizations including 501(c)(3)s (and faith-based or community-based organizations); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); school districts; special districts; and tribal organizations, consistent with 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a) and related statutory definitions. The original posting date was November 28, 2012, with a closing date of January 28, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived on March 29, 2013.
