HRSA Grant Opportunity: Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has posted a funding opportunity for a grant to support development of community programs focused on health care access for children, youths, and their families, as well as preventive strategies. The grant is also intended to promote collaboration and partnerships with other community stakeholders, including businesses.

HRSA anticipates availability of approximately $377,021 annually to fund eight grant awards of up to $47,127 per year for five years. Continued funding after year one is contingent on availability of appropriated funds, grantee performance, and a decision that it is in the best interest of the Federal government to continue funding. Grantees must also have matching funds in years two through five of the project period. Applicants may be any of the following: state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally-recognized tribal governments); nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and others. Applicants must have fiduciary and administrative responsibility for the project.

Applications are due September 21, 2012. More information is on the Grants.gov website.
