Opportunity Summary:
The R40 Maternal and Child Health Research Program (SDAS) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that funds applied research focused on maternal and child health services. The defining feature of this program is that it supports only secondary data analysis, meaning projects must rely exclusively on existing national databases and/or administrative records rather than collecting new primary data. HRSA is looking for studies that translate these existing data sources into practical, service-oriented findings that can improve how care is delivered to maternal and child health populations, including children with special health care needs.
A central purpose of the opportunity is to generate evidence that informs policy and strengthens health service delivery in ways that align with Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation. In practice, this means HRSA is interested in research that clarifies what improves access, quality, and outcomes under changing insurance and coverage environments, and research that supports preventive services and early intervention strategies that can be implemented through health care delivery programs. Competitive projects are those that not only analyze existing data rigorously, but also produce actionable findings that can be used by programs, systems, and policymakers to improve maternal and child health services.
Funding for this opportunity was estimated at $1,000,000 total, with an expected 10 awards. Individual awards had a ceiling of $100,000 and no stated award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the barrier for eligible nonprofits and public entities to apply. The opportunity was posted on October 6, 2014, with an application closing date of December 5, 2014, and it was later archived on February 3, 2015. The program is associated with CFDA 93.110, Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs.
Eligibility is limited by regulation (42 CFR Part 51a.3(b)) to public or nonprofit institutions of higher education and to public or private nonprofit agencies engaged in research or programs related to maternal and child health and/or services for children with special health care needs. Faith-based and community-based organizations, Tribes, and tribal organizations may apply as long as they meet the same underlying eligibility requirements (public/nonprofit status and relevant mission or programmatic/research focus). The award mechanism is a grant, and the activity category is Health.
