Opportunity Summary:
The R40 Maternal and Child Health Research Program (MCHR), offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to fund applied research that can directly improve maternal and child health services. The program emphasizes research that adds meaningful, practical knowledge to the field and produces findings that can be used by states, communities, health systems, and service providers to strengthen health outcomes. In general, the opportunity is centered on service-oriented research rather than purely theoretical work, with a clear expectation that funded projects will lead to measurable improvements in health and health care delivery for maternal and child health (MCH) populations, including children with special health care needs.
Within the overall opportunity, HRSA describes two related focus areas. The first is the core R40 MCHR (and the closely associated R40 SDAS reference in the notice), which supports applied maternal and child health services research addressing high-priority, real-world questions. Applicants are encouraged to target critical MCH challenges such as strengthening public health systems and infrastructure, reducing health disparities, improving quality of care, and promoting health across MCH populations. In practice, that means proposals should be framed around problems that matter to MCH programs and service delivery on the ground, such as how to organize and improve systems of care, how to increase equitable access and outcomes across different communities, and how to evaluate or refine interventions and service models that can be scaled or adopted by agencies and providers.
The second focus area is the R40 EHR Pediatric PBRN Initiative, which is more specialized and is aimed at supporting an existing electronic health record (EHR)-based pediatric practice-based research network (PBRN). Under this track, the intent is to use real-world clinical data from pediatric practices to conduct comparative effectiveness research (CER) and epidemiologic analyses focused on pediatric medication use. Specifically, HRSA highlights research on selected psychotropic medications and commonly prescribed asthma medications in children, along with investigation of potential associations between these medications and metabolic disorders in pediatric populations. This component reflects an emphasis on using EHR data infrastructure to answer pressing medication safety and effectiveness questions in routine care settings, where findings can inform clinical decision-making and broader public health guidance.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding opportunity is identified as HRSA-12-006 and falls under the “Health” funding activity category, with awards made as grants. HRSA anticipated making 9 awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $2,600,000. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with the program is 93.110, Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited and tied to statutory and regulatory requirements. Applicants must be public or nonprofit institutions of higher education, or public or private agencies engaged in research or in programs relating to maternal and child health and/or services for children with special health care needs, consistent with 42 CFR Part 51a.3(b). For the EHR Pediatric PBRN Initiative specifically, eligibility is further narrowed to only existing pediatric practice-based research networks that meet those same public/nonprofit and MCH-related engagement requirements. In other words, organizations cannot propose to create a new pediatric PBRN under this initiative; they must already operate an established, EHR-based pediatric network capable of conducting the proposed analyses.
Key timeline details in the source notice indicate the opportunity was posted on July 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2011, and an archive date of November 6, 2011. HRSA provides an additional information link to the full announcement and directs applicants needing help accessing the announcement to the HRSA Call Center via email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) or by phone at 877-Go4-HRSA (877-464-4772), with an alternate line listed as 301-998-7373.
