Opportunity Summary:
The National Healthy Child Care America Cooperative Agreement Program (HRSA-11-128) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to improve the health, safety, and overall quality of early care and education settings across the United States. It funds three cooperative agreement awards focused on strengthening national-level support systems for child care providers, health professionals, and families. The program sits within the Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs (CFDA 93.110) and emphasizes practical, standards-based tools, workforce development, and stronger connections between child care and the health care system.
A central component of the opportunity is the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care Settings (NRC). The NRC is meant to serve as a national hub that helps early care and education providers, including those serving children of all abilities, find and use reliable health and safety resources and reference materials. A key expectation is that the center will promote and maximize use of established “Standards” for child care health and safety, and use technology to reach a wide audience, including grantees, regulators, providers, and parents. In practice, this means developing, curating, and disseminating accessible guidance and tools that can be used in real-world child care environments to support consistent quality nationwide.
The opportunity also includes the National Training Institute (NTI) for Child Care Health Consultants. The NTI is focused on building and expanding the workforce of health and child care professionals who can serve as child care health consultants to child care programs. The emphasis is on identifying, training, and deploying consultants who can support child care settings in improving health and safety policies and practices. The NTI is expected to provide both regional and national training and to use distance learning options to expand reach and capacity. The program specifically aims to increase the number of trainees representing a variety of early care and education settings, including family child care, military child care, and Head Start, reflecting a broad approach to where young children receive care.
A third component is the Child Care and Health Partnership Program (CCHPP), which focuses on strengthening linkages between pediatricians and child care providers. The goal is to ensure that children in early care and education settings experience safe, healthy, and developmentally appropriate care while also using child care settings as a practical access point for connecting families to health insurance coverage and ongoing primary care relationships, often described as “medical homes.” This part of the program is designed to build a network of health care professionals who can create and reinforce these partnerships, improving coordination between the places children spend their day and the health systems that support their development and well-being.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making three awards with an estimated total funding level of $1,085,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $350,000 (floor) and $375,000 (ceiling). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, often through collaboration, guidance, or participation in key project elements. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligibility is broad in terms of entity type but narrow in terms of demonstrated capability. Under 42 CFR 51a.3(a), any public or private entity, including Indian tribes and tribal organizations (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b), may apply. However, applicants must show significant national-level experience in child and adolescent health and safety; applications that do not clearly demonstrate this experience are not considered further. The opportunity was posted on February 2, 2011, with an application deadline of March 18, 2011, and an archive date of May 17, 2011. For additional details and the full announcement, HRSA provided an online link and directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center for assistance.
