Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 086
The National Maternal and Child Center for Oral Health Systems Integration and Improvement (COHSII) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), focused on strengthening how oral health is delivered and coordinated for maternal and child health (MCH) populations. Under this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-086; CFDA 93.110), HRSA planned to fund one prime recipient that would not work alone, but instead lead a consortium of partners. The basic idea is to bring together local, state, and national stakeholders to improve existing systems of care so they are more patient-centered and grounded in quality improvement, with the goal of meeting comprehensive oral health needs for mothers, infants, children, and adolescents within the broader MCH landscape.
A central feature of the opportunity is that the awardee would function as a national “hub” for coordination and leadership rather than simply running a single program. HRSA describes the Center as the central convener, coordinator, and promoter of new knowledge and skills. In practice, that means the Center would be responsible for connecting key players across programs and jurisdictions, aligning efforts, and helping stakeholders apply what is known about effective oral health integration into routine care systems that serve MCH populations. Because it is a cooperative agreement, HRSA would be expected to have substantial involvement in the work, with the recipient collaborating closely with the agency to carry out the project’s national role and deliverables.
The scope of work is organized around three distinct functions. First, the Center would provide technical assistance and training to state Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant programs and to oral health Special Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) award recipients. This emphasis signals that HRSA wanted the Center to directly support the core state-level infrastructure that plans and coordinates MCH services (Title V) as well as targeted oral health initiatives funded through SPRANS. The technical assistance and training function is meant to help states and grantees improve how oral health fits into their current MCH systems, including strengthening planning, coordination, and implementation approaches that make oral health services easier to access and better integrated with other health and social supports.
Second, the Center would establish a set of national MCH oral health quality indicators designed to monitor oral health care delivery within existing systems of care. This component is about measurement and accountability: creating agreed-upon indicators that can be used consistently to track whether systems are actually delivering oral health services effectively for MCH populations. By focusing on indicators that work “within existing systems,” the opportunity is not primarily about building new standalone programs, but about improving how current systems perform and how stakeholders can see progress (or gaps) using shared metrics.
Third, the Center would translate evidence into practice by developing and disseminating action-oriented educational resources that support systems integration and workforce development. This function highlights that HRSA wanted practical tools, not just reports. The Center would be expected to take research and best practices and turn them into usable resources that help programs, providers, and partners implement improvements. The inclusion of workforce development points to a broader view of the oral health ecosystem: improving care is not only about policies and workflows, but also about ensuring the workforce across disciplines has the knowledge, skills, and training resources needed to deliver and coordinate oral health services effectively for pregnant people and children.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on December 5, 2016, with an original closing date of March 6, 2017. HRSA anticipated making one award (Expected Awards: 1). The listing shows an Award Ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a specific maximum amount was not stated in the summarized source data. Eligibility is described broadly as “Others,” with additional clarification expected in the full eligibility section of the funding announcement, suggesting that a range of organizations could potentially apply depending on HRSA’s detailed requirements.
Overall, this grant opportunity centers on national-level coordination to improve oral health systems for MCH populations through hands-on support to state and HRSA-funded partners, standardized quality measurement, and practical evidence-based resources that promote better integration and a stronger, better-prepared workforce. The intended end result is a higher-quality, more patient-centered oral health component embedded within the larger maternal and child health systems that already serve families.Apply for HRSA 17 086
