Opportunity Summary:
The Poison Center Support and Enhancement Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11 133, CFDA 93.253) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration focused on strengthening poison control center operations over a three year project period. The program is designed to help poison centers improve their ability to prevent poisonings and provide timely, reliable treatment recommendations, while also supporting the day to day operational capacity needed to maintain or reach required certification standards. In addition, funded projects are expected to include a non scientific evaluation of the strategies and activities proposed in the application, meaning recipients should plan to document what they implemented, how it was carried out, and what practical results or outputs were observed, without implying formal research or clinical trials.
Funding under this opportunity was limited and competitive, with an anticipated two awards and an estimated total funding amount of $389,379. The posting date and creation date were April 20, 2011, with an application closing date of May 23, 2011, and an archive date of July 22, 2011. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility was narrowly targeted. This competition was limited to poison control centers in Alabama and Puerto Rico that were not already receiving HRSA funding through the Poison Control Program at the time. More broadly, awards were limited to U.S. poison control centers, including centers serving U.S. territories, whether accredited or unaccredited, but with important conditions tied to accreditation. Eligible applicants generally needed to be accredited by a professional organization approved by the Secretary of HHS as having adequate public health protections in its accreditation standards. At the time of this announcement, the only explicitly approved professional organization was the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC). A center could also qualify through accreditation by a state government, as long as those standards were at least equivalent to AAPCC standards. Unaccredited centers could still be considered if they obtained a waiver and could reasonably demonstrate they would achieve accreditation within a reasonable timeframe, with the total time allowed under waivers not exceeding five years.
In practical terms, the grant’s core purpose was operational support and performance improvement: keeping poison centers capable of answering poisoning related calls, providing evidence based treatment guidance, maintaining staffing and infrastructure that meet certification expectations, and addressing any gaps preventing certification. The evaluation component was meant to ensure accountability and learning from implementation, focusing on tracking activities and outcomes in a programmatic, non research oriented way.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed the original announcement materials, HRSA provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal, and a call center contact for technical access issues via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, as well as phone support through the HRSA call center.
