Opportunity Summary:
The State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI) Grant Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity run through the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Division of State and Community Health (DSCH). SSDI has been in place since 1993 and was created to strengthen and modernize how states build the public health and service delivery infrastructure that supports maternal and child health (MCH) populations, including children with special health care needs (CSHCN). In practical terms, SSDI is meant to help state MCH and CSHCN agencies work together and build comprehensive, community-based systems of care for children and families, with a strong emphasis on improving how states collect, share, and use data to guide action.
This particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-13-268) offers one-time supplemental funding to improve the timeliness and usability of data coming from vital statistics and other state data systems. The central goal is to make it easier for participating states to take part in the Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (CoIIN) to Reduce Infant Mortality. The CoIIN model is described as a public-private partnership where states align around shared priorities, apply evidence-based strategies, and use quality improvement (QI) methods to test changes quickly, measure results, and scale what works. The program structure includes topic-specific CoIIN teams made up of state representatives and supported by content experts, data experts, and QI specialists. These teams typically work through technical assistance, shared online workspaces, and data dashboards designed to support rapid-cycle improvement.
A key theme of the opportunity is that quality improvement work depends on fast, reliable outcome data. States cannot effectively track progress toward infant mortality reduction aims if they only receive finalized vital records data months later. Because of that, these supplemental funds are intended to help states develop, enhance, or support data systems that provide access to more real-time (or near real-time) information. The data improvements supported by the grant are expected to align with the metrics chosen by the CoIIN strategy teams, so that each state can consistently measure progress in the priority areas it is working on, monitor whether interventions are moving the needle, and adjust strategies based on timely feedback.
The competition is limited and targeted. Eligibility is restricted to SSDI programs already funded under HRSA-12-003 in the 19 states located in U.S. Public Health Regions IV, V, and VI that are participating (or planning to participate) in the infant mortality CoIIN during fiscal year 2013. The announcement anticipates up to 19 awards, matching the number of participating states referenced. Awards are relatively small and meant to function as supplemental support rather than full program funding, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, categorized under health, and tied to CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs).
Timing details in the announcement show it was posted April 4, 2013, with an application deadline of May 6, 2013, and an archive date of June 30, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the full notice, HRSA directed people to contact the HRSA Call Center by phone or email. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, one-time investment to strengthen state data capacity so that infant mortality reduction efforts can be managed using real-time performance measurement and quality improvement, rather than relying on slow feedback loops that limit how quickly states can learn and adapt.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI) Supplemental Funding for Infant Mortality CoIIN Data Improvements (HRSA-13-268)
1) What is the SSDI Grant Program?
The State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI) Grant Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding program run through the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Division of State and Community Health (DSCH). SSDI has been in place since 1993 and was created to strengthen and modernize state public health and service delivery infrastructure for maternal and child health (MCH) populations, including children with special health care needs (CSHCN).
2) What is the purpose of this specific funding opportunity (HRSA-13-268)?
This announcement offers one-time supplemental funding to improve the timeliness and usability of data from vital statistics and other state data systems. The central goal is to make it easier for participating states to take part in the Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (CoIIN) to Reduce Infant Mortality by ensuring faster access to outcome data needed for quality improvement work.
3) Is this a new standalone grant or supplemental funding?
This opportunity is described as one-time supplemental funding. It is intended to add support to existing efforts rather than function as full program funding.
4) Which federal agency and offices run this opportunity?
The opportunity is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Division of State and Community Health (DSCH).
5) What problem is this funding trying to solve?
The opportunity addresses a common barrier in quality improvement and performance management: vital records and other outcome data are often finalized and delivered months after events occur. That delay makes it difficult for states to track progress toward infant mortality reduction aims, learn quickly, and adjust strategies. The supplemental funds are intended to help states move toward more real-time or near real-time access to usable data.
6) What types of data are emphasized in the announcement?
The announcement highlights vital statistics data (including vital records) and other state data systems used to support maternal and child health and infant mortality reduction work.
7) What does "more real-time (or near real-time) information" mean in this context?
In the context of this announcement, it means improving access to outcome and performance-related data faster than the typical lag associated with finalized vital records data, so states can monitor progress and make decisions without waiting months for final datasets.
8) How is this funding connected to the CoIIN to Reduce Infant Mortality?
The stated goal is to support state participation in the CoIIN to Reduce Infant Mortality during fiscal year 2013 by strengthening data capacity. The improvements supported by the supplemental funds are expected to align with the metrics selected by CoIIN strategy teams so states can consistently measure progress in the priority areas they are working on.
9) What is the CoIIN model described in the announcement?
The CoIIN model is described as a public-private partnership in which states align around shared priorities, apply evidence-based strategies, and use quality improvement (QI) methods to test changes quickly, measure results, and scale what works.
10) How do CoIIN teams typically work?
The program structure includes topic-specific CoIIN teams made up of state representatives and supported by content experts, data experts, and QI specialists. These teams typically work through technical assistance, shared online workspaces, and data dashboards designed to support rapid-cycle improvement.
11) Why is timely data considered essential for quality improvement (QI) in this program?
The announcement emphasizes that QI depends on fast, reliable outcome data. Without timely data, states cannot effectively track progress toward infant mortality reduction aims, determine whether interventions are working, or adjust strategies quickly.
12) What kinds of activities are these supplemental funds intended to support?
Based on the announcement description, funds are intended to help states develop, enhance, or support data systems that improve the timeliness and usability of data (especially vital statistics and other relevant state data systems) to enable performance measurement and rapid-cycle quality improvement aligned with CoIIN metrics.
13) Do the data improvements need to align with specific measures?
Yes. The announcement states that the data improvements supported by the grant are expected to align with the metrics chosen by CoIIN strategy teams. This alignment is intended to help each state measure progress consistently in its selected priority areas.
14) Who is eligible to apply for this opportunity?
Eligibility is restricted to SSDI programs already funded under HRSA-12-003 in the 19 states located in U.S. Public Health Regions IV, V, and VI that are participating (or planning to participate) in the infant mortality CoIIN during fiscal year 2013.
