Opportunity Summary:
The Poison Center Support and Enhancement Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-212) is a discretionary grant offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to strengthen the day-to-day capacity and long-term stability of U.S. poison control centers over a five-year project period. The core intent is practical support: helping poison centers prevent poisonings, provide timely and reliable treatment recommendations, and maintain the operational backbone needed to keep services available to the public and clinicians. Alongside service and infrastructure support, the program also expects recipients to review and document how well their proposed strategies and activities are working, but it specifically notes that applicants are not required to carry out a rigorous scientific evaluation. In other words, the evaluation component is meant to be feasible and program-focused rather than research-intensive.
This opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and uses the standard grant funding instrument. HRSA anticipated making 57 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $21,864,079. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. The program is listed under CFDA number 93.253 (Poison Center Support and Enhancement Grant Program). Key dates included a posted date of January 16, 2009, and an application closing date of March 16, 2009, with the funding opportunity later archived on May 10, 2009.
Eligibility is tightly focused on poison control centers (PCCs) operating in the United States, including those serving U.S. territories. In general, awards are limited to centers that are certified or working toward certification. For certification, the program points to professional standards that HRSA recognizes as protective of public health in the context of poisoning response. The only professional organization identified as currently approved for this purpose is the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC). Centers may also qualify if they are certified by a state government using standards that are at least equivalent to AAPCC requirements. Importantly, uncertified centers are not automatically excluded: they may request a waiver if they can reasonably demonstrate that they will obtain certification within a reasonable period of time. Waivers can be renewed, but the total number of waiver years cannot exceed five years, effectively aligning the maximum waiver window with the five-year grant period.
The funded work is structured around three major expectations. First, grantees are supported in efforts to prevent poisonings and to provide treatment recommendations, which typically refers to the poison center role in triage, risk assessment, guidance to the public and health professionals, and support for clinical management. Second, the program is designed to help centers meet the operational requirements needed to sustain existing certification or to achieve certification if they are not yet certified. This emphasis signals that HRSA views certification standards and related operational readiness (staffing, procedures, quality assurance, and related infrastructure) as central to maintaining reliable poison center services. Third, recipients are expected to conduct an evaluation of the strategies and activities they propose in their application, documenting implementation and outcomes in a reasonable, achievable way, without the expectation of a formal scientific study design.
