Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 038
The Supporting Healthy Start Performance Project (SHSPP) is a federal funding opportunity from the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to strengthen how Healthy Start-funded programs operate nationwide. The core goal is to provide structured training and hands-on technical assistance that helps local grant recipients improve the quality and consistency of their service delivery, achieve required outcome measures, and build stronger working relationships with community partners. By improving both day-to-day implementation and broader collaboration with local systems, the project is meant to contribute to reducing persistent maternal and infant health disparities.
Under this opportunity, the funded organization will function as the Healthy Start Technical Assistance and Support Center (TASC). In practical terms, the TASC role means being the central support hub for grant recipients funded through Healthy Start (HS), Healthy Start Enhanced (HSE), and the Catalyst for Infant Health Equity (Catalyst) programs. The selected recipient is expected to provide ongoing guidance, training, and problem-solving support that strengthens implementation across these sites, helping them deliver services more effectively and align their work with federal expectations around performance and outcomes.
A major emphasis of the SHSPP is addressing social determinants of health (SDOH), reflecting the direction of the HS, HSE, and Catalyst programs. Training and technical assistance are expected to recognize the real-world conditions that shape maternal and infant outcomes such as housing stability, transportation, access to nutritious food, income and employment barriers, structural racism, safety, and access to responsive health and social services. The support provided by the TASC should be designed to help grantees respond to these factors in ways that are practical, community-informed, and integrated into their program strategies, rather than treated as a side issue.
This is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA will likely have substantial involvement during the project period in setting priorities, coordinating activities, and ensuring the work aligns with national Healthy Start goals. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.926, with an anticipated single award. The maximum funding level is $3,500,000, and the competition was originally posted on September 29, 2023, with an original closing date of December 29, 2023.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities that can credibly operate a national training and technical assistance center. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); private institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other entities as specified in the full eligibility guidance.
Overall, SHSPP is aimed at improving the effectiveness and impact of Healthy Start-related programs by creating a well-supported, nationally coordinated technical assistance center. The expectation is that stronger implementation, better performance management, and deeper capacity to address social determinants of health will translate into improved maternal and infant health outcomes and measurable progress in reducing inequities across communities served by HS, HSE, and Catalyst grantees.Apply for HRSA 24 038
