Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 083
The Maternal and Child Environmental Health Network (MCEHN) grant opportunity (HRSA 22-083) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.110. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in guiding and supporting the awardee's work rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The overall aim is to reduce illness and death among pregnant people, infants, and children that are linked to environmental exposures before and after birth, including exposures that may occur during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or during the period when someone is planning a pregnancy.
The core deliverable of this funding is the creation, implementation, and ongoing support of a single national network of teratogen information service (TIS) counseling centers. In practice, this means the awardee would coordinate a connected set of state and/or regional counseling centers that can provide the public and clinicians with reliable, up-to-date information about potential risks from environmental and medical exposures during pregnancy and lactation. The program is designed to function as a national resource for individuals of reproductive age, their partners, and health care providers, with a clear emphasis on reaching underserved populations. The notice defines underserved populations broadly to include people who live in medically underserved areas and people who share characteristics tied to longstanding systemic barriers that limit full participation in economic, social, and civic life.
A central feature of the MCEHN model is direct, individualized risk assessment and counseling. The TIS network is expected to help pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, people planning to become pregnant, their partners, and providers make informed decisions by translating complex scientific and clinical information into objective, current, easy-to-understand guidance. This includes developing and distributing resources such as web-based information, along with providing person-specific counseling that takes into account the exposure type, timing, dose, route, and relevant medical history. The goal is not only to answer questions, but to support decision-making that can prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes and improve maternal and infant health.
The national network is expected to be accessible and responsive across multiple communication methods. The announcement specifically notes that inquiries should be handled through a variety of formats such as text messages, phone calls, and emails, which signals an expectation for low-barrier, user-friendly access that meets people where they are. The network must also be able to serve all ten HHS regions covered by HHS regional offices, reinforcing that this is meant to operate at true national scale rather than being limited to a single state or locality.
Eligibility for the opportunity is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as further clarified in the full eligibility text. Only one award is expected to be made, making the competition effectively for a single national coordinating entity. The opportunity was posted January 27, 2022, with an original closing date of March 28, 2022. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that applicants must rely on the full notice for detailed funding amounts or that the amount was not specified in that field, rather than implying no funding is available.
Taken together, the MCEHN opportunity is about building a coordinated, nationwide counseling and information infrastructure that can quickly deliver trustworthy exposure guidance to patients and clinicians, especially in communities that historically face access barriers. By combining public-facing resources, clinician support, and individualized counseling through multiple channels, the program aims to reduce preventable harm from environmental and medical exposures during critical reproductive and early-life periods.Apply for HRSA 22 083
