Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 069
The Advancing Systems of Services for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs grant opportunity (HRSA 18-069) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), focused on strengthening how states and partners serve children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and their families. The central aim is to improve health and well-being by tackling system-level issues that often determine whether families can actually access coordinated, affordable, high-quality care. Rather than funding direct clinical services alone, the opportunity is designed to build national capacity and practical infrastructure that state programs and stakeholders can use to improve outcomes and experiences for CYSHCN while also supporting more efficient use of health care dollars.
The program is organized around three core systems focus areas that HRSA identifies as especially important for CYSHCN. The first focus area is improving access to a patient- and family-centered medical home, meaning care that is coordinated, comprehensive, culturally responsive, and grounded in partnerships with families. The second focus area is strengthening the transition of youth into the adult health care system, addressing the common gap that occurs when young people age out of pediatric services and struggle to connect to adult providers, coverage, and supports. The third focus area is advancing health care financing models that improve care and outcomes while also achieving cost savings, reflecting the idea that payment and financing structures can either enable or block high-quality coordinated care for CYSHCN. Together, these focus areas target quality of care, continuity across life stages, and affordability and sustainability.
A defining feature of this opportunity is that HRSA plans to fund three separate cooperative agreements, with one awardee responsible for each of the three focus areas. Each awardee will serve as a dedicated resource center for its topic area, and the three awardees are expected to collaborate closely as a coordinated national network. This national collaborative network is intended to support state Title V programs in particular, along with families of CYSHCN, child health professionals, and other key stakeholders. The network is expected to provide hands-on support and field-building activities such as technical assistance, training and education, partnership development, policy analysis, and research. In practical terms, that means helping states and partners adopt effective approaches, spread best practices, interpret and shape policy options, and use evidence to improve systems performance.
Because these are cooperative agreements, HRSA anticipates an active partnership role rather than a purely hands-off grant. The three recipients are expected to coordinate their efforts to advance shared outcomes: improving quality care for CYSHCN, reducing unnecessary or avoidable health care costs, and improving the overall experience of care for children, youth, and their families. Applicants should also note an important structural rule: an organization may apply for only one focus area and can only be awarded one of the three awards. The opportunity lists eligibility broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity title and number (Advancing Systems of Services for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs, HRSA 18-069), funding instrument type (cooperative agreement), activity category (health), and CFDA number (93.110). The notice was created on November 7, 2017, with an original closing date of January 16, 2018. HRSA expected to make three awards total, corresponding to the three resource centers, and the listing shows an award ceiling value of 0, which typically signals that applicants should consult the full announcement for specific budget guidance and any limits that may apply.Apply for HRSA 18 069
