Opportunity Summary:
The R40 Maternal and Child Health Secondary Data Analysis Studies (MCH SDAS) opportunity is a discretionary grant program offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund applied research focused on maternal and child health (MCH) services. The program is specifically designed for projects that rely exclusively on secondary analysis, meaning applicants must use existing data sources rather than collecting any new primary data. Acceptable sources include national databases and administrative records, and the expectation is that the research will be practical and service-oriented, not purely theoretical. HRSA frames the purpose around generating findings that can realistically inform improvements in health care services and delivery, with an overall goal of promoting health and wellbeing for maternal and child health populations, including children with special health care needs.
This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-008 and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.110, Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs. The activity category is Health, and HRSA anticipated making about 10 awards. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although applicants may still choose to leverage other resources to strengthen the project. The announcement was posted on September 12, 2013, created on September 18, 2013, and the application deadline was November 8, 2013. The opportunity was later archived on January 7, 2014. The listing shows an award floor and ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that specific award amounts were not captured in the summary record and that applicants needed to consult the full notice for budget limits and expectations.
Eligibility is grounded in federal regulation (42 CFR Part 51a.3(b)). In practical terms, eligible applicants include public or nonprofit institutions of higher learning as well as public or private nonprofit agencies that are engaged in research or in programs related to maternal and child health and/or services for children with special health care needs. The summary also indicates eligibility for nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), with additional clarification in the full eligibility text. Faith-based and community-based organizations, Tribes, and tribal organizations may apply as long as they meet the underlying eligibility criteria described in the regulation, meaning they must be appropriately structured as public/nonprofit entities and demonstrate relevant research or programmatic engagement in MCH or related service areas.
From a project design standpoint, the core requirement is that the study must be based entirely on secondary data. That generally implies a strong emphasis on rigorous analytic methods, careful attention to data quality and limitations, and clear justification for the chosen dataset(s). Because the program is oriented toward improving services and delivery, competitive projects would typically be expected to connect analyses to actionable implications for systems of care, policy, program operations, access, quality, equity, outcomes, or resource allocation affecting MCH populations. While the summary does not list topic areas, the program description suggests that proposals should be framed around tangible service delivery questions where existing national or administrative datasets can credibly produce findings that stakeholders can use.
For additional details, HRSA provided an announcement link through its grants portal and listed the HRSA Call Center as the primary point of contact for access issues or applicant support. The contact options included email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone (877-464-4772, also branded as 877-Go4-HRSA).
