Opportunity Summary:
The Poison Control Program Guidelines for the Management of Poisonings Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09 208) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), within the Healthcare Systems Bureau. Its central purpose is to strengthen the nations poison control system by improving access to high quality poison control treatment and poison prevention services for people living across the United States and its territories. Rather than focusing on general operating support, this particular competition is aimed at producing practical, clinically useful guidance that can be applied when patients are exposed to toxic substances, helping to standardize and improve the way poisonings are evaluated and managed.
The specific activity being funded is the development of guidelines for the treatment of patients after exposures to toxic substances. In practice, that means the awardee is expected to create evidence informed or consensus based recommendations that poison centers and clinicians can use to make timely decisions, such as initial assessment and triage, indications for home management versus referral to emergency care, recommended monitoring, antidote use when appropriate, and follow up considerations. Because poisonings cover a wide range of substances and scenarios, these guidelines are intended to support consistent, high quality responses and reduce variation in care, especially during high risk or high volume exposure events.
HRSA expects to make a single award under this announcement (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding level listed is 250,000, and the description indicates that approximately 200,000 will be available to support the guideline development work. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means HRSA anticipates having substantial involvement in the project beyond routine grant oversight, such as collaboration on workplans, deliverables, or technical direction consistent with federal cooperative agreement rules. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have separate funds to contribute.
Eligibility is limited and specialized. Awards are restricted to U.S. poison control centers that are certified (or have been granted a waiver) by the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC). The announcement also allows for other professional organizations working in poison prevention and or poison control, as clarified in the additional eligibility information referenced in the full notice. In other words, this opportunity is not broadly open to all health care providers, universities, or nonprofits unless they meet the poison control specific eligibility conditions described in the official program guidance.
Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of February 5, 2009, with an original and current application deadline of March 18, 2009, and an archive date of May 29, 2009. The CFDA number is 93.253, tied to the Poison Center Support and Enhancement Grant Program, and the activity category is Health. Applicants are directed to consult the HRSA program guidance for the full set of expectations, required components of the application, and any specifications about the scope and format of the guidelines.
For access issues or support, HRSA provides the HRSA Call Center as the primary contact, reachable by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and by phone at 877 464 4772 (also listed as 301 998 7373). The full announcement is available through HRSA grants resources via the link included in the notice.
