Opportunity Summary:
The State Public Health Coordinating Center for Autism grant opportunity (HRSA-11-020) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), specifically through the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and its Division of State and Community Health (DSCH). The federal government designed this award to create a single State Public Health Coordinating Center focused on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD). The underlying goal is to strengthen how states support the health and developmental outcomes of infants, children, and adolescents who either have ASD/DD or may be at risk of developing them.
At the center of the program is the Combating Autism Act Initiative (CAAI). Through this initiative, the Coordinating Center is expected to improve early and timely identification, diagnosis, and intervention for children and youth with ASD/DD. Rather than operating as a direct clinical service program, the Coordinating Center is meant to function as a statewide public health organizer and strategy-builder. A major part of the work involves coordinating with existing State Autism Demonstration Grants, aligning efforts, sharing lessons learned, and reducing fragmentation across systems that touch children and families.
A key deliverable for the Coordinating Center is the development of a practical, statewide strategy that defines, supports, and monitors the role of State Public Health in ASD/DD systems. This includes clarifying how Title V Maternal and Child Health programs and other public health programs should contribute to making sure children receive appropriate screening, referral, diagnostic evaluation, and early intervention services without unnecessary delay. In other words, the project is meant to help state public health agencies and partners understand their responsibilities, build consistent approaches, and track whether systems are actually working as intended for families.
Funding for this opportunity was limited and targeted. HRSA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $300,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs), reflecting its placement within broader maternal and child health priorities.
Eligibility was broad under the cited regulation (42 CFR Part 51a.333(a)). Any public or private entity could apply, including Indian tribes or tribal organizations, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations (as those terms are defined in federal statute). This wide eligibility suggests HRSA was open to different types of entities serving as the coordinating hub, so long as they could credibly convene partners, support statewide coordination, and help shape and monitor public health roles related to ASD/DD.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on February 18, 2011, with an application deadline of April 4, 2011, and it was later archived on June 3, 2011. HRSA provided a help channel for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, directing them to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support through 877-464-4772 (also listed as 877-Go4-HRSA).
