Opportunity Summary:
The R40 MCH Secondary Data Analysis Studies (SDAS) grant is a discretionary research funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on applied studies that improve maternal and child health (MCH) services and care delivery. A defining feature of this program is that projects must rely exclusively on secondary analysis, meaning applicants are expected to use existing national datasets and/or administrative records rather than collecting new primary data. The overall aim is to produce practical, service-relevant evidence that can inform programs and policies affecting MCH populations, including children with special health care needs.
The program is closely aligned with HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) priorities and investments, particularly the direction of the Title V MCH Block Grant and its National Performance Priority Areas. Research funded under this opportunity is expected to strengthen and expand the evidence base connected to those priority areas and the populations they serve. Applicants are also expected to connect their research questions to at least one of MCHB's Strategic Research Issues, which include improving public health systems and infrastructure, reducing health disparities, increasing quality of care, and promoting the health of MCH populations. Explicitly addressing at least one of these strategic issues is part of the review process under the "Need" criterion and is scored as a meaningful component of the application.
Awardees are expected to carry out three major types of work. First, they will conduct rigorous secondary data analyses using established analytic methods appropriate to large national datasets and administrative records. Second, they must disseminate results in ways that go beyond a final report, including producing at least two peer-reviewed manuscripts and sharing findings through additional channels such as conference presentations, newsletters, webcasts, fact sheets, policy briefs, websites, and social media as appropriate for the audiences and topic. Third, recipients must show a deliberate plan for transferring findings and project outputs to key stakeholders who can use them, including researchers, health care providers, State Title V programs, children with special health care needs programs and other HRSA/MCHB-serving programs, policymakers, families, and the broader public. This emphasis on translation and reach signals that the grant prioritizes actionable findings that can influence systems and service delivery, not just academic publication.
In terms of logistics, the funding opportunity number is HRSA-16-029 and it was posted on September 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of November 6, 2015, and an archive date of December 14, 2015. The program anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited under 42 CFR Part 51a.3(b) to public or nonprofit institutions of higher learning and public or private nonprofit agencies engaged in research or in programs relating to maternal and child health and/or services for children with special health care needs. Faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as Tribes and tribal organizations, may apply if they meet those same nonprofit/public and programmatic eligibility requirements.
