Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 088
The Strengthening the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Public Health Academic Pipeline opportunity is a competitive supplement grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is tied to the existing Centers of Excellence in MCH Education, Science, and Practice Program (HRSA-20-042) and is designed to expand the academic workforce in maternal and child health by funding structured, post-graduate training pathways. In practical terms, the supplement is meant to help Schools of Public Health and related partners build stronger long-term capacity in MCH research, teaching, and policy work by investing directly in people at early career stages.
The core purpose of the supplement is to support postdoctoral fellowships, and optionally junior faculty support, to encourage sustained career pathways into MCH academia. HRSA is aiming to strengthen the pipeline of researchers, educators, and policy-informed practitioners who can advance maternal and child health through scholarship, instruction, and applied public health leadership. By backing postdoctoral fellows and, where chosen, junior faculty, the program intends to increase both research output and teaching capacity in MCH-focused areas, while also deepening collaboration between academic institutions and real-world public health practice settings. A notable emphasis is placed on building skills in MCH policy formation and in translating research findings into practice and policy, reflecting a strong interest in work that does not stay confined to journals but informs programs, systems, and decision-making.
The supplement has four main objectives. First, recipients are expected to develop and offer postdoctoral fellowship opportunities specifically focused on MCH. Second, the program prioritizes recruitment of diverse postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty who are committed to MCH research and practice, including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, signaling that workforce diversity and equity are central to the intent of the funding. Third, the training experience should measurably build fellows' and early faculty members' skills across MCH research, policy, and practice, preparing them to contribute in multidisciplinary environments. Fourth, recipients must provide strong mentorship structures, particularly around teaching and curriculum development as well as scholarly productivity, such as publishing. This makes the supplement not just a research training mechanism, but a broader academic career development platform.
Award structure and basic administrative details indicate a relatively targeted, capacity-building competition. The funding opportunity number is HRSA 20 088, offered as a discretionary grant within the health funding activity category, listed under CFDA 93.110. The notice was created on April 27, 2020, with an original closing date of June 19, 2020. HRSA anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of $170,000. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity's eligibility text, which typically signals that only certain organizations or existing awardees under the related Centers of Excellence program may qualify for the supplement.
Overall, this competitive supplement is essentially an investment in the next generation of MCH academic leaders. It funds institutions to create or expand well-mentored postdoctoral training (and potentially junior faculty development) that strengthens research and teaching infrastructure, improves the ability to connect evidence with policy and practice, and deliberately recruits and supports a diverse group of emerging professionals positioned to shape the future of maternal and child health.Apply for HRSA 20 088
