Opportunity Summary:
The Poison Center Support and Enhancement Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-093) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to strengthen the work of U.S. poison control centers over a four-year project period. The program is designed to help poison centers maintain and improve their core public health role: preventing poisonings, responding to poisoning exposures, and providing timely treatment recommendations and guidance to the public and to health care professionals. In practical terms, the funding supports the infrastructure and activities that allow poison centers to operate effectively as a front-line resource for poisoning prevention and response.
A central focus of the opportunity is helping poison centers meet the operational requirements necessary to sustain certification or to achieve certification if they are not yet certified. The announcement ties eligibility to certification standards that protect public health, primarily those of the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), which is identified as the professional organization approved by the Secretary for this purpose. Centers may also qualify if they are certified by a state government using standards that are at least equivalent to AAPCC standards. Importantly, the program also allows uncertified poison control centers to apply if they obtain a waiver and can reasonably demonstrate that they will achieve certification within a reasonable timeframe; waiver renewals are permitted, but the total waiver period may not exceed five years. Eligibility includes poison control centers serving U.S. states as well as U.S. territories, reflecting the program's intent to support poison center capacity across the full U.S. jurisdictional footprint.
Beyond operations and service delivery, the grant requires recipients to conduct an evaluation of the strategies and activities they implement under their project. The evaluation requirement is framed as practical and program-focused rather than academic; the announcement explicitly notes that a rigorous scientific evaluation is not required. This signals that applicants should still plan to track what they do and what results they see (for example, improvements in service capacity, responsiveness, compliance with certification requirements, or prevention outreach outputs), but they are not expected to conduct complex research designs or publishable-level studies.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under the Health funding activity, uses the Grant funding instrument type, and does not require cost sharing or matching. HRSA anticipated making two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $485,276. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.253. The opportunity was originally posted on February 25, 2010, with an application closing date of April 1, 2010, and it was archived on May 31, 2010, meaning it reflects a specific historical competition cycle rather than a currently open call.
For applicants or stakeholders needing access support or assistance with the full announcement materials, HRSA provided its call center contact channel, including the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and telephone numbers (877-464-4772 and 301-998-7373). The opportunity also included an external link to the full solicitation details hosted on the HRSA grants website.
