Opportunity Summary:
The Public Education Efforts to Increase Solid Organ Donation grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-033) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund public education and outreach initiatives that can measurably increase solid organ donation. The program is focused on practical, on-the-ground implementation rather than basic research, with an emphasis on strategies that already show promise. In particular, HRSA is looking for projects that replicate approaches proven effective through the Division of Transplantation research grant portfolio or approaches supported in the broader public health literature for changing health behaviors. The opportunity also welcomes outreach efforts built on an established, evidence-informed framework for successful public health campaigns, meaning applicants are expected to ground their work in recognized methods for reaching and influencing target audiences.
A central goal of the program is to advance the Division of Transplantation mission by educating the public about deceased donation and prompting people to formally document their decision to be an organ donor. In practice, that means moving beyond general awareness messaging and pushing toward concrete action, especially enrollment in a statewide donor registry. For areas where a donor registry is not available, the grant allows for other credible documentation mechanisms. The underlying idea is that sustained increases in donation depend on increasing the number of individuals who clearly record their donor decision ahead of time, reducing uncertainty and barriers at critical moments.
The total estimated funding for the program is $1,000,000, with HRSA expecting to make about five awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for participation by public agencies and nonprofit organizations that may not have substantial unrestricted funds. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health (CFDA number 93.134, Grants to Increase Organ Donations), placing it within a federal portfolio aimed at strengthening the organ donation and transplantation system through education, outreach, and donor registration improvements.
Eligibility is broad but centered on public and nonprofit leadership. Eligible applicants include federally designated organ procurement organizations (OPOs) as well as other nonprofit private or public entities eligible for funds under Section 377A(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 274f-1(b)). This includes state and local governments, Indian Tribal Governments, institutions of higher education, faith-based and community organizations, Tribal organizations, and other nonprofit organizations. For-profit organizations are not allowed to apply as the primary applicant, but they can participate as subcontractors or consortium partners, allowing projects to incorporate specialized marketing, communications, data, or outreach services while keeping the applicant role within an eligible nonprofit or public entity. The statute also notes that the Secretary may make peer-reviewed grants to public and nonprofit private entities, including Tribes and faith-based and community-based organizations, reinforcing that proposals are expected to be competitively reviewed.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 18, 2009, with an application closing date of February 10, 2010, and it was later archived on April 17, 2010. The official listing includes an HRSA link for full announcement details and provides HRSA Call Center contact options for applicants who have trouble accessing the announcement electronically. Overall, the grant is designed to scale up what works in organ donation outreach by funding organizations to implement, replicate, and deliver evidence-based public education strategies that lead to more documented donor decisions and, ultimately, more donors.
