Opportunity Summary:
The National FIMR Resource Center grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-161) was a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how states and local communities review and respond to fetal and infant deaths. The central idea is to support the community-based Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) process, a structured approach that looks beyond single cases to understand systems issues, service gaps, and preventable factors contributing to fetal and infant mortality. A major emphasis is placed on assisting Healthy Start communities, which often serve populations experiencing the highest risks and the greatest inequities in birth outcomes.
Under this opportunity, the funded Resource Center would function as a national hub for hands-on technical assistance and capacity building. Its responsibilities include working closely with HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to promote wider understanding and adoption of the FIMR model; helping communities set up the FIMR process from the ground up; and facilitating the sharing of tools, lessons learned, and practical strategies across states and local programs. In addition to supporting implementation, the Resource Center is expected to refine and modernize the FIMR approach by developing improvements and new methods that make the process more responsive, more efficient, and easier to use in real-world public health and community settings.
A key purpose of the program is to expand the use of FIMR beyond review alone and position it as an ongoing needs assessment and quality improvement tool. That means the Resource Center is expected to help communities translate review findings into action, strengthen local systems of care, and build long-term program capacity. The announcement explicitly ties this work to strengthening State Title V Maternal and Child Health programs, which are responsible for statewide planning, coordination, and improvement efforts in maternal and child health. In practice, that connection suggests the Resource Center would help states and communities align FIMR findings with Title V priorities, performance measures, and system improvement strategies.
The award structure was straightforward: HRSA anticipated making one award with total estimated funding of $300,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were $300,000, indicating a single, fixed award amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period, such as collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and dissemination activities, rather than the more hands-off relationship common in standard grants.
Eligibility was limited to public or nonprofit private entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as Indian tribes or tribal organizations (as defined under 25 U.S.C. 450b). The applicant organization needed to have direct fiduciary and administrative responsibility for the project, signaling that HRSA expected the lead applicant to control funds and operations rather than serving only as a pass-through or informal convener. The opportunity was associated with CFDA 93.926 (Healthy Start Initiative), reinforcing the focus on improving outcomes for mothers and infants and supporting communities with significant needs.
Timing details show the notice was posted on February 24, 2010, with an original and final closing date of March 29, 2010, and it was archived on May 28, 2010.
