Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 010
The Autism CARES Act National Interdisciplinary Training Resource Center funding opportunity (HRSA-17-010) is a federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health area (CFDA 93.877). The intent is to fund a single national Resource Center that can strengthen how the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Autism CARES Act investments operate together, with a practical focus on improving the health and developmental outcomes of infants, children, and adolescents who either have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or developmental disabilities (DD), or who are considered at risk for developing these conditions.
At the core of the opportunity is the idea that improving outcomes for children with ASD/DD depends heavily on having a well-prepared workforce and consistent, high-quality training across disciplines. Rather than directly providing clinical services, the Resource Center is designed to function as a national support hub for interdisciplinary training programs. In particular, it is expected to deliver technical assistance to established HRSA-supported training efforts such as Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (LEND) programs and Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) training programs, as well as other relevant interdisciplinary training initiatives. These programs prepare professionals from multiple fields to work together in caring for children with neurodevelopmental needs, so the Resource Center is meant to help align and strengthen their shared training infrastructure, methods, and practices.
A central emphasis in the description is on ensuring trainees and training programs are equipped to use valid and reliable screening and diagnostic tools. That includes building capacity to screen appropriately, to diagnose ASD/DD when present, or to rule it out when it is not supported by evidence. The Resource Center is also expected to reinforce the use of evidence-based interventions, meaning approaches that are supported by credible research and are appropriate for children with ASD/DD. In practice, this implies helping training programs standardize and improve curricula, clinical training experiences, and quality improvement approaches so that the professionals they graduate can deliver timely identification and effective supports.
Another major function of the Resource Center is leadership and coordination. The opportunity explicitly states that the Resource Center will provide leadership and support in coordinating MCHB programs funded by the Autism CARES Act. That coordination role suggests the Resource Center is intended to serve as a connective tissue across separate grantees and training sites, helping to reduce duplication, spread effective practices, and create shared direction across Autism CARES-funded training activities nationwide. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, HRSA typically has substantial involvement in guiding and collaborating with the awardee on program implementation, which aligns with the national coordination purpose described.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on November 30, 2016, with an original application closing date of January 31, 2017. It anticipated making one award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which generally indicates that the ceiling amount was not specified in the summary field and would normally be clarified in the full announcement or related budget guidance. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full text under an eligibility section, implying that applicants needed to consult the complete notice to confirm which organization types were permitted.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a national capacity-building and coordination award. Its purpose is to elevate the quality and consistency of interdisciplinary training that underpins early screening, accurate diagnosis, and effective intervention for children with ASD/DD, while also providing a structured national mechanism for aligning and supporting the Autism CARES Act training portfolio overseen by MCHB.Apply for HRSA 17 010
