Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 21 044
The MCH Navigator Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity designed to support the maternal and child health (MCH) workforce by maintaining and advancing an online learning portal that offers high-quality, carefully vetted training and resources. The central idea is to give both emerging and experienced MCH professionals easy access to continuing education that is organized around MCH Leadership Competencies, so people working in MCH can build practical knowledge and skills that translate directly into stronger programs and services.
This opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), HRSA, as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-21-044; CFDA 93.110). As a cooperative agreement, it typically means HRSA expects to be actively involved with the recipient through collaboration, guidance, and ongoing engagement rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction. HRSA planned to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $225,000, indicating a focused national effort concentrated in one recipient organization rather than multiple regional awards.
Programmatically, the MCH Navigator is meant to function as a learning hub for the MCH field. It emphasizes online continuing education that is relevant to day-to-day MCH practice, accessible to a broad audience, and aligned with established leadership competency areas. The work is explicitly tied to HRSA Strategic Plan 2019-2022 priorities, particularly improving access to quality health care and services, strengthening the health workforce, and advancing health equity. In practice, that means the portal and its content are expected to help professionals better serve diverse communities and address persistent gaps in maternal and child health outcomes.
The notice lays out several concrete objectives. First, the program should assess and address current knowledge and skill needs across the MCH community, which suggests activities like needs assessments, stakeholder feedback loops, or analyzing workforce development gaps. Second, it should measurably increase knowledge and skills among both the existing MCH workforce and students entering the field, reinforcing that the audience is not limited to seasoned professionals. Third, it must provide access to high-quality, relevant, and accessible trainings, implying a strong focus on curation and quality control rather than simply listing large volumes of materials. Fourth, the program is expected to develop innovative website features and enhancements, meaning the portal is not static and should evolve to improve usability, learning engagement, and practical value for users. Fifth, collaboration is a core requirement, particularly working with state Title V programs, local public health staff, and key MCH organizations, which positions the Navigator as a connected national resource that reflects on-the-ground public health realities and priorities.
Key administrative details from the announcement include an original posting/creation date of October 20, 2020, and an original application closing date of January 19, 2021. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice, signaling that applicants likely needed to review the detailed eligibility language to confirm qualification. Overall, the funding supports one organization to operate and enhance a national MCH training portal that strengthens workforce capacity through competency-based, accessible online continuing education and active coordination with major MCH partners.Apply for HRSA 21 044
