Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 110
The Maternal and Child Health Collaborative Office Rounds (MCH COR) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-110) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under CFDA 93.110. It was created on January 10, 2017, with an original application deadline of March 20, 2017, and HRSA anticipated making about 10 awards. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the ceiling was not specified in the summary field or would be defined elsewhere in the full announcement rather than implying no funding.
At its core, MCH COR is designed to strengthen the ability of community-based primary care clinicians to recognize and respond to the mental and behavioral health needs of their patients, especially children and families. The program’s focus is practical and skill-building: it supports continuing education that centers on the psychosocial and developmental dimensions of child health, with an emphasis on the real-world challenges faced in everyday primary care settings. Rather than treating behavioral health as separate from routine pediatric and family care, the opportunity promotes a model in which developmental, emotional, and behavioral concerns are addressed as an integral part of ongoing health supervision.
The objectives spelled out in the announcement reflect several connected goals. First, the program aims to deepen primary care providers’ understanding of psychosocial aspects of child development, including how typical development can be shaped by family context, stressors, and environmental factors, and how developmental disorders and disabilities can present in clinical practice. Second, it seeks to improve providers’ ability to actively help children and families address these concerns, not only by identifying problems but also by supporting families through guidance, early interventions, and appropriate management strategies within the primary care scope. Third, the program emphasizes sharpening clinical judgment so providers can better distinguish short-lived or situational disturbances from more significant psychiatric disorders that warrant referral to specialty care. This distinction is essential in primary care, where many concerns first appear in vague or mixed forms and where timely triage can prevent escalation.
A central feature of the program is its push for stronger collaboration between pediatricians (and other primary care clinicians) and child psychiatrists. By encouraging structured interaction and shared learning, the program aims to reduce professional silos, improve coordination of care, and make it easier for primary care practices to access specialist input when cases become complex. This collaborative approach also supports more consistent referral pathways and clearer shared expectations about what can be managed in primary care versus what requires specialty behavioral health services.
Finally, MCH COR is intended to reinforce a comprehensive, preventive approach to child health supervision aligned with the Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents. In practice, this means integrating psychosocial and developmental screening, anticipatory guidance, family-centered counseling, and appropriate follow-up into routine well-child care and ongoing pediatric primary care. The overall aim is to build a workforce of community-based providers who are better prepared, more confident, and more connected to behavioral health expertise, leading to earlier identification of concerns and more effective support for children’s developmental and mental health needs. Eligible applicants are listed as “Others,” with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided in the full announcement’s eligibility section.Apply for HRSA 17 110
