Opportunity Summary:
The National Center on School Based Health Care Cooperative Agreement Program (NCSBHC) is a federal funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), specifically tied to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) mission, that supports a single national center focused on strengthening school based and school linked health centers across the United States. The main purpose is to help these centers improve what they offer and how well they deliver care by providing up-to-date, evidence-based information, practical tools, resources, and hands-on technical assistance. In effect, the program is designed to function as a national hub that helps school health providers and their partners translate proven approaches into day-to-day practice, with the goal of improving both service capacity and quality of care for children and adolescents.
A major emphasis of the NCSBHC is scanning the landscape for emerging issues that affect school health and adolescent health, then analyzing those issues and sharing guidance back to the field. This includes identifying new challenges, promising practices, and policy or operational trends that school health programs need to respond to, and then packaging that learning into usable models and recommendations. The program also explicitly focuses on creating and spreading models of interagency and interdisciplinary collaboration, recognizing that effective health care in schools typically depends on coordinated work among multiple groups. These collaboration models are meant to bring together school staff, school based or school linked health centers, and community agencies so that physical health and mental health services can be delivered in a more integrated, coordinated way within the school environment.
Because the center is national in scope, it is expected to interact broadly with the field, including the roughly 1,700 school based and school linked health centers operating in the United States, as well as schools and communities that are exploring or planning to develop this model of care. The cooperative agreement structure signals that HRSA anticipates substantial involvement in the funded project, meaning the awardee would not only carry out the work plan but also coordinate closely with the federal project team on priorities, deliverables, and alignment with broader federal school health and adolescent health efforts. The announcement also notes that the NCSBHC is expected to work collaboratively with other HRSA/MCHB programs that promote school health and adolescent health, reinforcing that the center should complement and connect to related federal initiatives rather than operate in isolation.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity is listed as HRSA-09-175 and was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health funding activity category. HRSA expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted on December 17, 2008, with a closing date of February 10, 2009, and it was later archived on April 12, 2009. The associated CFDA number is 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs), which situates the program within a broader portfolio aimed at improving health outcomes for mothers, children, and adolescents.
Eligibility was intentionally broad in terms of organizational type, allowing any public or private entity to apply, including Indian tribes and tribal organizations as defined in federal law. At the same time, the announcement sets a clear bar for competitiveness: applicant organizations needed to demonstrate significant national-level experience across multiple substantive areas relevant to school health. Applications that did not show this depth and breadth of national experience were not to be considered, indicating that HRSA was seeking an established organization capable of operating at scale, convening stakeholders, and delivering high-quality technical assistance nationwide. For applicants or readers needing the full announcement, HRSA directed people to the HRSA Call Center for access and technical help, and provided an official link to the archived posting.
