Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 091
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) - Formula grant (Funding Opportunity Number: HRSA 18 091) is a federal health funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary grant program within the health funding activity category, listed under CFDA 93.870. The opportunity was created on April 27, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 29, 2018, and it anticipated making awards to 56 recipients.
At its core, this program is designed to support the delivery of coordinated, comprehensive, high-quality, and voluntary early childhood home visiting services for eligible families. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help grantees build or strengthen home visiting systems where trained staff (such as nurses, social workers, early childhood specialists, or other qualified home visitors depending on the model) provide structured, family-centered support by visiting families in their homes or another agreed-upon setting. The emphasis on "voluntary" signals that families choose to participate rather than being mandated, which is important for trust, engagement, and sustained involvement in services.
Because it is described as a "formula" grant, the structure generally implies that funding is allocated according to a predetermined methodology rather than purely through open-ended competition for a fixed pot, although it is still categorized as discretionary in the notice. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a single maximum award amount is not specified in the public summary and may instead depend on the formula allocation, availability of appropriations, or other program-specific calculations.
The program purpose statement highlights several operational priorities. "Coordinated" suggests grantees are expected to align home visiting with other health and social service systems so families can access a broader network of supports, such as prenatal and postpartum care, pediatric care, behavioral health services, early intervention, nutrition supports, child welfare resources, and early learning programs. "Comprehensive" indicates services are intended to address multiple domains that affect maternal and child well-being, not just one issue in isolation. "High-quality" points to expectations around evidence-based practice, appropriate staffing and training, consistent service delivery, and continuous quality improvement. The federal partnership between HRSA and ACF also signals that the program bridges health and human services priorities, reflecting a whole-family, early childhood approach rather than a narrow clinical model.
Eligibility in the summary is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which means the precise eligible applicant types are defined in the full announcement rather than in the abbreviated extract provided here. In many HRSA opportunities, this field often points to state, territorial, tribal, or other designated entities, but the exact eligible applicants for this specific notice would need to be confirmed in the full eligibility section of the opportunity posting.
Overall, this grant opportunity supports early childhood home visiting as a strategy to improve outcomes for pregnant people, infants, and young children by bringing consistent, structured support directly to families, strengthening connections to health and community resources, and promoting healthier starts for children during the most developmentally sensitive years.Apply for HRSA 18 091
