Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 19 059
The Innovations in Access to Care for Children and Youth with Epilepsy grant opportunity (HRSA 19-059) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee is expected to work closely with HRSA and play an active, coordinating role rather than simply carrying out an isolated project. The overall aim is to improve access to coordinated, comprehensive, and high-quality care for children and youth with epilepsy, with a particular focus on populations living in rural and/or medically underserved areas where specialty services and coordinated systems of care are often harder to reach.
A central feature of this opportunity is that it is designed to support and strengthen the work of a related HRSA initiative, the Transforming Health Care for Children and Youth with Epilepsy program (HRSA-19-060). Instead of directly funding multiple local service sites under this specific announcement, HRSA 19-059 funds one recipient to provide national-level leadership and infrastructure that helps the HRSA-19-060 grantees succeed. In practical terms, the awardee serves as a hub that coordinates the activities of the HRSA-19-060 recipients, helps align efforts across sites, and ensures that lessons learned and effective approaches can be shared and scaled.
The funded recipient is expected to provide hands-on technical assistance, training, and education to the HRSA-19-060 grantees in several priority areas tied to improving epilepsy care access and quality. A major emphasis is on implementing telehealth and telemedicine strategies, reflecting the reality that remote care models can reduce geographic barriers, connect families to specialists, and support ongoing management for a condition that often requires consistent monitoring and coordination. Another key priority is improving health care transition processes for youth, particularly the shift from pediatric to adult-oriented care, which is a common point of disruption for young people with chronic conditions like epilepsy. The recipient is also expected to strengthen communication and collaboration between primary care and specialty care, recognizing that well-coordinated epilepsy management often depends on clear shared care plans, timely referrals, and consistent follow-up across providers.
Beyond training and coordination, the awardee is responsible for building and spreading the evidence base and practical tools that can help systems improve. This includes analyzing, compiling, and disseminating evidence-based and innovative practices, policies, tools, and resources related to epilepsy health care management. The goal is not only to help current grantees implement better models of care, but also to create usable resources that can inform broader national practice, especially for providers and systems serving rural or underserved communities. The opportunity also calls for advancing data collection, quality improvement, and evaluation capacity among the HRSA-19-060 recipients, supporting more consistent measurement of outcomes and more rigorous learning about what works, for whom, and under what circumstances.
Partnership development is another expected element of the work. The recipient is tasked with building relationships with national organizations and key stakeholders to strengthen impact, encourage adoption of effective approaches, and ensure that policy and practice efforts are connected to the larger epilepsy and maternal-child health ecosystems. These partnerships can help expand dissemination channels, align standards and recommendations, and support sustainability beyond the grant period, particularly in settings where resources are limited.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on January 22, 2019, with an original application closing date of April 22, 2019. HRSA anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $650,000. The program is listed under CFDA number 93.110 and falls within the health funding activity category. Eligibility is indicated broadly as "Others," with further clarification expected in the full eligibility text in the original notice. Overall, HRSA 19-059 is best understood as a national coordinating and capacity-building award intended to accelerate improvements in access, quality, and coordination of epilepsy care for children and youth, with special attention to overcoming the structural barriers faced by rural and medically underserved populations.Apply for HRSA 19 059
