Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 080
The Home Visiting Research and Development (HV R&D) Platform grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-22-080) is a federal cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It sits within the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program and is designed to strengthen the national home visiting field by building a coordinated, practice-based research network that can produce usable, timely evidence. The central idea is to connect the people who run and deliver home visiting services with researchers and other key partners so that studies are grounded in real-world program operations, generate practical findings, and can be translated quickly into policy and day-to-day improvements. A consistent theme throughout the opportunity is equity: the work is expected to help home visiting programs improve measurable family health and well-being outcomes while also addressing unequal access to services and unequal outcomes across families and communities.
Funding is provided as a cooperative agreement, which signals that HRSA is likely to have substantial involvement beyond simply issuing a grant and receiving reports. The opportunity was posted on November 23, 2021, with an original application closing date of February 22, 2022. The program anticipated making one award, with an annual award ceiling of $1,500,000. The activity category is health (CFDA 93.870). Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification expected in the full notice, but the intent of the program makes clear that applicants must be capable of convening national or multi-site partnerships, managing complex research and data-sharing activities, and operating as a hub for collaboration across home visiting stakeholders.
The awardee is expected to accomplish six major objectives. First, the recipient must develop and maintain a Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN) that brings together home visiting and early childhood researchers, local and state home visiting programs, home visiting model developers, MIECHV award recipients, and other relevant stakeholders. This network is meant to be more than a contact list; it is intended to function as an ongoing infrastructure for jointly identifying research questions, designing studies, and sharing lessons learned across settings. Second, the program emphasizes advancing innovative research methods tailored to home visiting, especially approaches that are rapid-cycle and iterative. In practice, that means designing studies that can test improvements quickly, learn from early results, adjust interventions or implementation strategies, and then retest, rather than relying only on long, slow research timelines that may deliver answers after program conditions have changed.
Third, the recipient must promote data sharing and interoperability, using data collaboratives and partnerships that allow the field to answer broader and more policy-relevant questions. Home visiting programs often hold valuable information in separate systems with different standards; this objective pushes the platform to help align data structures, reduce barriers to sharing (while protecting privacy), and make it more feasible to combine or compare data across programs, models, and jurisdictions. Fourth, the platform is expected to respond to emerging priorities by conducting timely, relevant research and translating results into practice. This is a direct call for agility: when new challenges, policy shifts, public health issues, or implementation problems arise, the platform should be able to mobilize partners, study what is happening, and provide evidence-informed guidance that practitioners and decision-makers can use.
Fifth, the grant explicitly includes workforce development through mentoring the next generation of early childhood researchers, with a clear focus on increasing diversity in the research community. The expectation is not only training in methods, but also building pathways for researchers from underrepresented backgrounds to enter and advance in the home visiting evidence ecosystem, which can influence what questions are asked, how communities are engaged, and how results are interpreted and applied. Sixth, the recipient must expand the field of "precision home visiting" through intellectual leadership, dissemination, and technical assistance, while engaging a wide range of stakeholders in both formal and informal ways. Precision home visiting generally refers to improving how services are tailored so that families receive the right supports at the right time and intensity, based on individual and community needs. Under this objective, the platform is positioned as a national thought leader that not only produces research but also helps programs use it through guidance, tools, convenings, and other supports.
Overall, this opportunity funds a single entity to function as a national backbone for home visiting research and learning, with responsibilities spanning network-building, methodological innovation, data infrastructure, rapid response research, researcher pipeline development, and leadership in tailoring services more effectively. The intended payoff is a stronger and more equitable home visiting system where evidence is generated in close partnership with practice settings, spreads quickly, and leads to measurable improvements in family outcomes and in fairness of access and results across different populations.Apply for HRSA 22 080
