Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 19 106
The Supporting Maternal Health Innovation (Supporting MHI) Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), released under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-19-106. It was designed to strengthen national and state efforts to reduce and prevent maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) by helping HRSA-funded maternal health programs and their partners put practical, evidence-informed improvements into action. Rather than directly funding clinical services, the program focuses on building the capacity of existing award recipients and creating a central hub that can spread effective approaches, provide hands-on support, and help align stakeholders around measurable maternal health outcomes.
At the core of the opportunity are two connected deliverables. First, the award recipient is expected to provide capacity-building assistance (CBA) to grantees already funded through two specific HRSA programs: the State Maternal Health Innovation (State MHI) Program (HRSA-19-107) and the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program (HRSA-19-094). This assistance is intended to help those programs implement innovative and evidence-informed strategies, with a clear emphasis on addressing disparities in maternal health outcomes and preventing both maternal deaths and severe complications. In practice, this kind of CBA typically involves structured technical support to improve program design, implementation, quality improvement methods, data use, evaluation capacity, cross-sector coordination, and the ability to scale interventions that show results.
Second, the program requires the creation of a national resource center that provides guidance and practical support to a broader set of maternal health actors. The resource center is expected to offer technical assistance, training, and education; develop and disseminate tools and resources; conduct policy analysis; and support partnership building across systems that influence maternal health. The audience for this national support includes HRSA award recipients focused on maternal health such as the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM), the AIM Community Care Initiative (HRSA-19-109), the Healthy Start Initiative (Eliminating Disparities in Perinatal Health), and the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant Program. The intended reach also includes states and key stakeholders like health care and public health professionals, state health agencies, community-based organizations, academic institutions, and importantly, pregnant and postpartum women and their families. The overall idea is to centralize learning and best practices so that improvements are not isolated to a single project or geography, but can be adapted and adopted nationally.
A major expectation of the Supporting MHI award is direct support to the nine State MHI award recipients in meeting specific performance milestones tied to prevention, access, and equity. These milestones include increasing the percentage of women with health insurance coverage, increasing the percentage receiving annual well-woman visits, increasing prenatal care utilization overall and in the first trimester, increasing postpartum visit rates, and increasing screening for perinatal depression. On the outcome side, the milestones also include decreasing pregnancy-related deaths and reducing racial, ethnic, and/or geographic disparities in pregnancy-related mortality rates. These targets reflect a continuum-of-care approach, emphasizing that maternal outcomes are influenced not only by labor and delivery care, but also by preconception health, early and consistent prenatal care, postpartum follow-up, and mental health identification and support.
From an administrative standpoint, HRSA planned to make a single cooperative agreement award (meaning HRSA would have substantial programmatic involvement beyond a typical grant). The expected award ceiling was $2,600,000, with an original application closing date of July 15, 2019, and an opportunity posting date of May 30, 2019. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the official eligibility section, which commonly indicates HRSA was looking for an organization with strong national technical assistance capacity, maternal health expertise, and the infrastructure to coordinate across multiple HRSA programs, states, and partner networks. Overall, the grant opportunity is structured to accelerate real-world implementation of proven and promising strategies, strengthen statewide and rural maternal health initiatives, and create a sustained national support function aimed at measurable reductions in maternal deaths, severe complications, and persistent disparities.Apply for HRSA 19 106
