Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 061
The State Systems Development Initiative (SSDI) Grant Program, Tier 1 (Jurisdictions), is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). Listed as HRSA-18-061 (CFDA 93.110), this FY 2018 funding is designed specifically to strengthen the data and analytic capacity of Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs so they can do stronger needs assessments and report more effectively on performance measures tied to the Title V MCH Block Grant. In practical terms, the grant is about helping health agencies in U.S. jurisdictions build better MCH data systems and workflows so decisions about programs and funding for women, infants, children, and youth (including children and youth with special health care needs) are based on timely, reliable, and usable information.
A core reason this Tier 1 opportunity exists is that the eight U.S. jurisdictions face different and often more difficult data conditions than the 50 states and Washington, DC. Many national datasets and surveys that states commonly use either do not include the jurisdictions, include only limited jurisdiction-level samples, or do not provide jurisdiction-level estimates that are strong enough for routine reporting. Under the updated Title V performance measurement framework (introduced with the FY 2016 Title V application), states and jurisdictions are expected to report in a standardized way on 15 National Performance Measures (NPMs) and related National Outcome Measures (NOMs), and to document evidence-based or evidence-informed strategy measures (ESMs). For states and DC, federally available data for NPMs and NOMs can often be pre-populated in the Title V Information System (TVIS). For the eight jurisdictions, that pre-population generally does not happen, which creates a gap in reporting capacity and a heavier lift for local Title V agencies.
SSDI is positioned as a complement to the Title V MCH Block Grant, not a replacement for it. The intent is to improve the availability, timeliness, and quality of MCH data across Title V awardees, and to make sure those data are actually used for assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Stronger data capacity is meant to translate into better-informed decision-making and more strategic resource allocation, ultimately supporting higher-quality and more efficient MCH programming. The SSDI emphasis is not only on collecting data, but also on building the ability to manage, analyze, interpret, and apply the data to real program decisions and to the required annual Title V application and reporting cycle.
This particular notice of funding opportunity uses a two-tier structure based on differences in access to national data used for NPM reporting. Tier 1 (HRSA-18-061) is restricted to the eight jurisdictions, while Tier 2 (HRSA-18-062) is for the 50 states and Washington, DC. Applicants are expected to apply only to the tier that matches their eligibility category. Eligibility for SSDI is limited to the 59 Title V MCH Block Grant awardees overall, and Tier 1 specifically targets the jurisdictional Title V agencies, which are treated as state government eligible applicants within this program structure.
A notable feature of the Tier 1 description is MCHB's plan to direct part of SSDI funding toward creating or supporting a mechanism for collecting MCH survey data in the jurisdictions. This element responds to jurisdiction requests for access to national MCH survey data that are relevant and usable at the jurisdiction level. The approach is intended to be developed and administered in partnership with the jurisdictional Title V programs, with the explicit goal of increasing the jurisdictions' capacity to report on the NPMs in their Title V Block Grant applications and annual reports. In other words, the program recognizes that, for jurisdictions, improving data capacity may require not just better internal systems but also improved access to core survey-based indicators that are commonly available to states through national systems.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 7, 2017, with an original application deadline of September 5, 2017. HRSA anticipated making up to eight awards under Tier 1, aligning with the eight eligible jurisdictions. The listed award ceiling is $50,000. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted capacity-building support: it focuses on strengthening the data foundation that jurisdictions need to meet modern Title V performance reporting expectations, document progress using standardized measures, and make program choices that are backed by solid maternal and child health evidence.Apply for HRSA 18 061
