Opportunity Summary:
The National Center for Family/Professional Partnerships funding opportunity (HRSA-13-206) is a discretionary HRSA cooperative agreement meant to strengthen how health systems and public programs partner with families of children and youth with special health care needs (CSHCN). The grant sits within the broader Family Professional Partnerships Program (FPP), which is focused on three core goals that are treated as essential building blocks of better care: family-centered care, cultural and linguistic competence, and shared decision making. The intent is to improve both the health delivery system and day-to-day quality of life for CSHCN and their families by making families true partners in decisions, not just recipients of services.
A key theme in the announcement is that the Center is being realigned to match major shifts in the health care landscape and the needs identified by State Title V agencies, HRSA, and HHS. For FY 2013, the Center is expected to organize its work around three priority areas: (1) supporting full implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), (2) strengthening the primary care workforce, and (3) improving access to quality care through innovation. The announcement ties these priorities to evidence and national direction, referencing the Institute of Medicine report Crossing the Quality Chasm, which established shared decision making and patient/family-centered care as central components of a high-quality health system. It also notes research showing that better shared decision making is associated with lower out-of-pocket costs and reduced high-intensity utilization (like hospitalizations and emergency department visits) for CSHCN, reinforcing why these approaches matter as states and systems implement ACA-related changes.
Under the ACA implementation priority, the Center is expected to help states bring authentic consumer and family perspectives into policy, planning, implementation, and quality improvement using evidence-based strategies. Practically, that means building and supporting a broad national, regional, and state network of informed family leaders who can participate not only in individual or peer-level decisions, but also at community, state, and broader systems levels. The Center also serves as a connector, helping states identify and engage appropriate family representatives, including voices from minority and rural populations, as states develop Health Insurance Marketplaces (Exchanges), Medicaid expansion approaches, community health teams, and related initiatives. Another required contribution is producing and sharing family-friendly, culturally and linguistically appropriate explanations of coverage and access changes, designed for use by states, patient navigators, families, and providers, and coordinated with other HRSA-funded efforts.
For the workforce development priority, the Center is expected to provide training that positions family-centered care and FPP principles as the foundation for shared decision making. The training audiences extend beyond families to include the state, primary care, and community workforce, such as state public health programs, care coordinators, interdisciplinary care teams, patient navigators, community health workers, and primary care extension hub sites. Where possible, the work should also reach federally qualified health centers and National Health Service Corps clinicians. The overall idea is to ensure that the people families interact with throughout the system have practical skills to partner with families, communicate effectively across cultures and languages, and help families understand evolving coverage and service pathways.
For the access to quality care and innovation priority, the Center is expected to identify, document, and spread innovative, evidence-based, and best practices in shared decision making so that states and partners can incorporate them into policy, clinical practice, and quality improvement work. A concrete component of this is disseminating tools and providing technical assistance on how to use scientifically validated measures of family-centered care. The aim is not just promoting good ideas, but helping states measure whether integrating shared decision making and family-centered approaches actually changes quality and outcomes in medical practice and service systems.
Evaluation and accountability are emphasized throughout the announcement. The grantee is expected to run ongoing evaluation and produce annual impact assessments across all three priority areas, using methods like follow-up calls and emails with states and reviewing Title V Block Grant applications. The Center should actively gather information from targeted State Title V CSHCN programs and partner organizations to identify both gaps and successes relative to the three priority goals. The model described is improvement-oriented: once gaps are identified, states and organizations can plan small changes, implement them, measure results, and then spread approaches that prove effective within their state or to other grantees. HRSA also makes clear that the Center must collect data sufficient to demonstrate that federal funds produced measurable program outcomes, aligning with expectations for fiscal transparency and stronger program monitoring, improvement, and decision making.
In terms of award structure and basic logistics, HRSA anticipated making one award under this opportunity, using a cooperative agreement mechanism (meaning HRSA expects substantial involvement during performance). The CFDA number listed is 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities under 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a), including Indian tribes and tribal organizations (as defined in federal law), and faith-based and community-based organizations; the listing also references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and certain tribal organizations. The posting and closing dates in the notice reflect a March 22, 2013 posting, with an original closing date of April 22, 2013 and a current closing date of April 26, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived. Award floor and ceiling are shown as 0 in the summary fields, which typically signals that applicants need to rely on the full announcement for budget expectations rather than those fields.
