In general, multiple applications associated with the same DUNS number and/or Employee Identification Number (EIN) are not allowable. However, HRSA recognizes a growing trend towards greater consolidation within the rural health care industry and the possibility that multiple health care organizations may share the same EIN as its parent organization.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2019 Healthy Start Initiative: Eliminating Disparities in Perinatal Health. The purpose of this Healthy Start (HS)program is to improve health outcomes before, during, and after pregnancy, and reduce racial/ethnic differences in rates of infant death and adverse perinatal outcomes. 

HS has two focus areas: 1) providing direct and enabling services (for example, screening and referrals, case management and care coordination, health and parenting education, and linkage to clinical care) to enrolled HS participants; and 2) convening Community Consortia (formerly known as Community Action Networks or “CANs”) comprised of diverse, multi-sector partners to advise and inform HS activities as well as to develop and implement plans to improve perinatal outcomes within the selected project area. HS continues to have an increased emphasis on addressing social determinants of health, such as access to adequate food, housing, and transportation, to improve disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes. Based on stakeholder feedback, this FY 2024 HS competition also provides recipients with increased flexibility to tailor interventions to the unique needs of their community and/or target population.

The goals of HS are to:

1) Continue reducing infant mortality rates in the United States, and

2) Decrease disparities in infant mortality and poor perinatal health outcomes in areas where those rates are high.

The program’s purpose is to integrate preventive oral health care into primary care services accessible to MCH populations living in communities underserved by oral health care. The MCH-IOHI Program consists of two types of projects:

• HRSA-24-039: MCH-IOHI Demonstration Projects will aim to improve access to integrated preventive oral health care (integrated POHC) in primary care services accessible to MCH populations at increased or higher risk for poor oral health. 
   
• HRSA-24-040: MCH-IOHI Consortium will bridge the gap between evidence and practice. As the principal technical assistance (TA) provider, the Consortium will accelerate the adoption and implementation of evidence-based integrated POHC strategies that aim to advance health equity.

The NFLP program seeks to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty nationwide by providing low interest loans for individuals studying to be nurse faculty and loan cancelation for those who then go on to work as faculty.  Successful applicants establish and operate a student loan program including maintaining a fund, providing loans to students enrolled in advanced education nursing degree programs, and monitoring compliance with program requirements. In exchange for completion of up to four years of post-graduation full-time nurse faculty employment in an accredited school of nursing, graduates receive cancellation of up to 85 percent of the original student loan amount (plus interest thereon) as authorized by the program. Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who serve as full-time preceptors within an academic-practice partnership framework are considered faculty under the NFLP, to support the expansion of clinical training opportunities for nursing students.
