Opportunity Summary:
The National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetic Service Collaboratives (NCC for the RCs) is a discretionary HRSA grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-081) offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). The program is rooted in Title V, Section 501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)), which directs HRSA to support genetic disease testing, counseling, and the development and dissemination of genetic information. In practical terms, the opportunity funds one national entity to serve as the hub that strengthens and connects regional efforts so that genetic services are more consistent, higher quality, and easier to access across the country and across the lifespan.
The core purpose of the NCC is threefold. First, it is expected to develop a framework for a national network of regional genetic centers that function as shared resources for both providers and patients within each region. The emphasis is on reducing geographic inequities so that people can receive the same standard of high-quality genetic services regardless of where they live. Second, the NCC must support and coordinate the ongoing work of the Regional Genetic Service Collaboratives (RCs) and help spread (disseminate) national collaborative activities that address public health genetics infrastructure needs in each state. This coordination role typically implies organizing cross-regional collaboration, aligning approaches, sharing tools and promising practices, and helping translate regional work into nationally useful resources. Third, the NCC is responsible for providing a national genetics education and consumer network, meaning it should act as a central point for education, outreach, and accessible information for both professionals and the public, including patients and families who need understandable and trustworthy genetics resources.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on December 15, 2014, with an application closing date of February 2, 2015, and it was later archived on April 3, 2015. Eligible applicants are broad under 42 CFR 51a.3(a) and include any public or private entity, including Indian tribes and tribal organizations; faith-based and community-based organizations are also eligible. Because the funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, typically meaning more active collaboration with HRSA on program direction, coordination expectations, and deliverables tied to national consistency and dissemination.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided contact information for the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and listed Jill Shuger, Sc.M, as the program contact (JShuger@hrsa.gov).
