Opportunity Summary:
The Public Education Efforts to Increase Solid Organ Donation Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 12 032) is a discretionary grant offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.134, Grants to Increase Organ Donations. Its core aim is to fund practical, on-the-ground public education and outreach efforts that are likely to increase solid organ donation. Rather than focusing on early-stage research, the program is geared toward implementation, meaning it supports organizations that can put proven approaches into action in real communities and measure whether those efforts increase donation-related outcomes.
A central feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on replicating strategies that already show evidence of effectiveness. HRSA highlights two main sources for these strategies: approaches identified as effective through the Division of Transplantation research grant portfolio, and approaches supported by the broader public health literature on changing health behaviors. In other words, applicants are expected to build on what is already known to work, either in organ donation-specific research or in established health communication and behavior change models, instead of proposing untested awareness campaigns. The program also welcomes outreach efforts that are structured around recognized public health frameworks for successful education campaigns, reinforcing that this is meant to be evidence-informed, strategic work rather than general messaging.
The grant aligns directly with the Division of Transplantation mission to educate the public about deceased donation and to motivate people to formally document their decision to be a donor. A major target outcome is increased donor designation through a statewide donor registry, or through another formal documentation mechanism in states or areas where a registry is not available. Beyond deceased donation, the program allows projects to address living donation as well, including improving public understanding of opportunities to donate specific organs or organ segments while living, and providing clear, accurate information about the living donation process along with its potential risks and benefits. This reflects an interest not only in increasing willingness, but also in improving knowledge so that decisions are informed and responsibly made.
In terms of scale and competition, HRSA estimated total funding at $1,000,000 and anticipated making about four awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have access to large pools of non-federal funds. The announcement was posted July 19, 2011, with an application deadline of November 16, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived January 15, 2012, indicating it was tied to that specific funding cycle.
Eligibility is broad but clearly defined. Eligible applicants include federally designated organ procurement organizations (OPOs) as well as other nonprofit private or public entities that qualify for funds under Section 377A(a) and (b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 274f-1(a) (b)). Examples of eligible public or nonprofit entities include state and local governments, Indian Tribal Governments, institutions of higher education, other nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations), and Tribal organizations. For-profit organizations are not allowed to apply as the primary applicant, but they may participate as subcontractors or as members of a consortium, which allows applicants to bring in specialized communications, evaluation, or outreach capacity without changing the nonprofit/public lead requirement. HRSA also notes that applications failing to meet eligibility by the deadline will not be reviewed for funding.
There are also compliance expectations for applicants involved with the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN). If the applicant or any project team member is an OPTN member, HRSA requires that the applicant and all other OPTN members participating in the project be in compliance with the OPTN final rule (42 CFR Part 121). This condition underscores that projects connected to the national transplant system must meet federal operational standards while conducting outreach or education activities.
