Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 068
The Maternal and Child Health Secondary Data Analysis Research (MCH SDAR) grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 23 068) is a discretionary HRSA grant program under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services designed to fund research that relies on existing data rather than collecting new primary data. Its central goal is to generate practical, timely evidence that can improve the health and well-being of maternal and child health (MCH) populations, with an explicit emphasis that includes children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD). The program is built around the idea that many urgent MCH and ASD/DD questions can be answered faster and more efficiently by analyzing national datasets and administrative records that already exist, helping decision-makers respond to both longstanding and emerging public health challenges.
The opportunity supports projects that use secondary data analysis to identify newly developing issues, explore new research questions, test hypotheses, and clarify pathways for intervention. In practice, that means applicants are expected to propose rigorous analytic work using established sources such as national surveys, surveillance systems, claims data, electronic or administrative service records, or other large-scale datasets relevant to MCH outcomes. The emphasis is on producing evidence that can directly inform programs, policy, and clinical or public health practice, especially in areas where the field lacks sufficient data to confidently design, target, or refine interventions. By focusing on secondary analysis, the program aims to shorten the time between a recognized problem and an evidence-based response.
Projects funded through SDAR are expected to align with specific HRSA Strategic Plan objectives. First, they should incorporate health equity concepts and measures into programs and policies (Objective 1.4), meaning analyses should pay attention to disparities, structural barriers, differential access to services, and the distribution of outcomes across populations. Second, they should contribute to improving the quality, safety, and effectiveness of health services for underserved groups and people with heightened need (Objective 2.3), which can include evaluating service use patterns, quality indicators, or gaps in care revealed in administrative or national datasets. Third, the work should enhance maternal and child health efforts and help reduce disparities in morbidity, mortality, and broader health outcomes (Objective 2.4), reinforcing that the intended output is actionable knowledge that can be used to strengthen systems and reduce unequal burdens of disease and poor outcomes.
From an administrative standpoint, the grant is categorized under the Health funding activity (CFDA 93.110) and uses the grant funding instrument type. The award ceiling listed is $120,000, with an anticipated total of five awards. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific eligibility line), and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, along with additional eligible entities as noted in the full eligibility guidance. The opportunity was created on November 14, 2022, with an original application deadline of February 13, 2023.
Overall, MCH SDAR funds focused, policy-relevant research that turns existing national or administrative data into clearer answers about what is happening in maternal and child health and ASD/DD populations, why it is happening, who is most affected, and which intervention pathways look most promising. The intended payoff is evidence that can be used quickly by agencies, programs, and practitioners to improve outcomes and narrow inequities.Apply for HRSA 23 068
