Opportunity Summary:
The Supporting Healthy Start Performance Project (SHSPP) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA expects to have substantial involvement with the awardee in carrying out the work. The core purpose of the project is to strengthen how local Healthy Start (HS) grantees implement their programs by providing organized, ongoing capacity building assistance, including hands-on technical assistance, training, and education. In practical terms, the award supports an entity that can help Healthy Start sites apply the program model consistently and effectively so that implementation across communities is credible, uniform, and more likely to produce measurable improvements.
The work supported by SHSPP focuses on improving performance and outcomes tied to Healthy Start's mission of reducing disparities in infant mortality and adverse perinatal outcomes. The assistance provided to HS grantees is intended to reinforce the program's five approaches: improving women's health; promoting quality services; strengthening family resilience; achieving collective impact through coordinated community and cross-sector action; and increasing accountability through quality improvement, performance monitoring, and evaluation. The project is designed to help grantees not only deliver services, but also build the systems, partnerships, data practices, and quality improvement routines needed to show results and continuously improve.
Funding for this opportunity was set at an estimated total of $2,000,000, with an award ceiling and floor both listed as $2,000,000, indicating HRSA anticipated making one award at that amount. No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.926 (Healthy Start Initiative). Key dates show it was posted January 16, 2014, with an original closing date of March 3, 2014, later reflected as March 4, 2014, and it was archived May 2, 2014.
Eligibility was broad under 42 CFR Part 51a.3(a). Any public or private entity could apply, including Indian tribes or tribal organizations (as defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b). Community-based organizations, including faith-based organizations, were explicitly included as eligible. A key requirement, however, was that the applicant must hold direct fiduciary and administrative responsibility for the project, meaning the applying organization must be able to manage the federal funds and oversee day-to-day administration and compliance.
