Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 089
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Innovation Award - General Data/Technology Innovations (Track One), HRSA-22-089, is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement opportunity under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It is designed to support MIECHV awardees in developing, implementing, and evaluating practical innovations that use technology and/or improved data collection and data sharing approaches to strengthen how home visiting services are delivered and to broaden the overall reach and impact of MIECHV-funded voluntary early childhood home visiting. In other words, the grant is not about starting home visiting from scratch; it is about helping existing MIECHV recipients modernize and improve service delivery using smarter data systems, better tools, and more effective information flows, while staying aligned with the evidence-based home visiting model or models they already operate.
A key point of the announcement is that HRSA is looking for innovations that are truly tied to service improvement and outcomes, not technology for its own sake. For this funding notice, an "innovation" is defined broadly as a process, product, strategy, or practice that improves (or is reasonably expected to improve, based on evidence of promise or a strong theory) outcomes compared to the current or status quo way the program is being run, and that could ultimately be used widely and effectively beyond a single site. Applicants are strongly encouraged to focus on one main innovation, even if that single innovation includes multiple coordinated strategies and activities. The opportunity also allows applicants to build on work already underway, meaning a state or organization can propose to improve, expand, or advance an innovation that is currently being developed or piloted within its MIECHV program rather than inventing something entirely new.
Track One specifically targets general data- and technology-driven improvements in priority areas identified by HRSA for strengthening MIECHV service delivery, as long as the proposed approach remains consistent with the requirements and structure of the home visiting model(s) the recipient uses. While the announcement references a second, separate funding opportunity (Track Two, HRSA-22-102) focused on COVID-19-related data/technology innovations including virtual service delivery, Track One is positioned as the broader, non-COVID-specific pathway for data and technology modernization that can improve program performance, service coordination, decision-making, and ultimately family outcomes across the life of the program.
The overall framing is closely tied to HRSA and HHS priorities around health equity and population health. The notice emphasizes that innovations should help address inequities and improve outcomes for communities that have historically faced structural racism and discrimination and related barriers to accessing resources needed to thrive. It also notes the reality that MIECHV recipients have already been exploring new data and technology approaches, and that the COVID-19 public health emergency accelerated shifts in service delivery; these awards are meant to build on that momentum and turn promising adaptations into well-designed, evaluated innovations that can be sustained and replicated.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 93.870 and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means HRSA expects substantial involvement with the awardee during the project period (for example, technical assistance, collaboration on evaluation expectations, or structured reporting and learning activities). The agency anticipated making about five awards under this opportunity. The listing notes an award ceiling of 0, which generally indicates the ceiling was not specified in the excerpted source data (rather than implying no funding), so applicants would normally need to refer to the full notice of funding opportunity for the exact budget limits, period of performance, and any cost or matching rules. Eligibility is described in the source as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the narrative makes clear the intended applicants are MIECHV recipients, meaning entities already funded under MIECHV that are positioned to implement innovations within their existing service delivery infrastructure and model fidelity requirements. The opportunity was created September 3, 2021, with an original closing date of November 26, 2021.Apply for HRSA 22 089

It supports MIECHV awardees in developing, implementing, and evaluating practical innovations that use technology and/or improved data collection and data sharing to strengthen home visiting service delivery and expand the reach and impact of MIECHV-funded voluntary home visiting.
2) Is this funding meant to start a new home visiting program?
No. The focus is not on starting home visiting from scratch. It is intended for existing MIECHV recipients to modernize and improve how they deliver services using better data systems, tools, and information flows, while staying aligned with the evidence-based home visiting model(s) they already operate.
3) Who is the funder and what type of award is it?
The funder is the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically includes substantial HRSA involvement during the project period (for example, technical assistance, collaboration on evaluation expectations, and structured reporting and learning activities).
4) What does Track One focus on?
Track One targets general data- and technology-driven improvements in priority areas HRSA identified for strengthening MIECHV service delivery, as long as the approach remains consistent with the requirements and structure of the home visiting model(s) used by the recipient. It is positioned as the broader, non-COVID-specific pathway for data and technology modernization.
5) How is Track One different from Track Two (HRSA-22-102)?
Track Two (HRSA-22-102) is described as focusing on COVID-19-related data/technology innovations, including virtual service delivery. Track One (HRSA-22-089) is the broader track for general, non-COVID-specific data and technology innovations to improve program performance, service coordination, decision-making, and family outcomes.
6) What counts as an "innovation" under this announcement?
An innovation is defined broadly as a process, product, strategy, or practice that improves (or is reasonably expected to improve, based on evidence of promise or a strong theory) outcomes compared to the current or status quo approach, and that could ultimately be used widely and effectively beyond a single site.
7) Does HRSA want technology solutions for their own sake?
No. A central theme is that innovations must be tied to service improvement and outcomes, not technology for its own sake. Proposed technology and data changes should strengthen how home visiting services are delivered and how impact is achieved.
8) Does the opportunity encourage focusing on one innovation or multiple?
Applicants are strongly encouraged to focus on one main innovation, even if that innovation includes multiple coordinated strategies and activities.
9) Can applicants propose an innovation that is already underway?
Yes. The opportunity allows applicants to build on work already underway. A recipient may propose to improve, expand, or advance an innovation currently being developed or piloted within its MIECHV program rather than creating something entirely new.
10) How should proposed innovations relate to the home visiting model(s) in use?
Proposed approaches must remain consistent with the requirements and structure of the evidence-based home visiting model(s) the MIECHV recipient already operates. The aim is to strengthen delivery while maintaining alignment with model expectations.
11) What outcomes or impacts is HRSA looking for?
The notice frames innovations as tools to improve program performance, service coordination, decision-making, and family outcomes across the life of the program. Innovations should be practical and designed for real service improvement and measurable impact.
12) How does health equity factor into this funding opportunity?
