Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 050

The Maternal Health Training and Resource Center (MHTRC) funding opportunity (HRSA-24-050) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.110. It is designed to create or support a single national training and resource center that strengthens maternal health efforts funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). The central aim is to help maternal health awardees improve outcomes and better respond to communities most affected by maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity (SMM), with the strongest emphasis placed on supporting recipients of the State Maternal Health Innovation (State MHI) program.

In practical terms, the MHTRC is expected to function as a capacity-building hub. Rather than directly delivering clinical care, the center would typically provide training, technical assistance, and practical resources that help state and other maternal health programs implement effective approaches, adopt innovations, and improve how maternal health initiatives are planned, executed, and evaluated. The notice also indicates the center may provide limited implementation support to MCHB maternal health recipients for maternal health projects and initiatives in their states when funding is available, meaning the awardee may be asked to help translate strategies into action on the ground, within the constraints of available resources.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); for-profit organizations (including both small businesses and other for-profits); and other organizations that meet program requirements. The opportunity is open to organizations located in the United States and several U.S.-affiliated jurisdictions and territories, specifically the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Freely Associated States (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). The summary language also highlights community-based organizations and tribal entities as eligible, signaling interest in applicants with strong connections to impacted communities.

The program anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of up to $3,000,000. The original application closing date listed for this opportunity was May 2, 2024, and the opportunity was created on February 2, 2024. Because the funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement from HRSA during the project period, such as collaborative planning, ongoing performance monitoring, and coordination to ensure the training and assistance provided align with MCHB priorities and the needs of State MHI and other maternal health recipients.
