Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 21 052
The Autism Secondary Data Analysis Research (SDAR) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), focused on applied Maternal and Child Health research that relies exclusively on secondary analysis. In practical terms, projects funded under this program are expected to use already-existing national datasets and/or administrative records rather than collecting new primary data. The purpose is to produce evidence that helps identify, refine, or validate interventions and service approaches that can improve the physical and behavioral health of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other Developmental Disabilities (DD), while still considering ASD/DD needs across the lifespan.
A central emphasis of the opportunity is equity and real-world impact. Applicants are expected to prioritize underserved ASD/DD populations where the evidence base for intervention effectiveness is thin and where barriers to screening, diagnosis, and treatment are common. The program is designed to strengthen the quality of care for individuals with ASD/DD by supporting research that informs education, early detection, and intervention practices, with an applied lens that can translate into improved care delivery and patient engagement.
HRSA frames SDAR as a way to speed up research and reduce costs by leveraging high-value data resources that already exist. Applicants are encouraged to bring forward new research questions, test hypotheses, challenge prevailing assumptions or clinical practices, and assess the feasibility or potential impact of interventions using large-scale datasets. The announcement highlights that innovative analytic approaches, including methods like meta-analyses, are welcomed, and it provides examples of acceptable data sources such as the National Survey of Children's Health, the National Database for Autism Research, Medicaid claims and administrative data, the National Health Interview Survey, and the Mental Health Research Network Database.
The program lays out three main goals. First, it aims to generate new evidence that directly addresses gaps affecting underserved ASD/DD communities, particularly around intervention effectiveness and access to screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Second, it seeks research with broad public health relevance, meaning studies should be generalizable and replicable across underserved populations and should inform improvements in patient engagement and care delivery. Third, it requires a strong dissemination plan: funded projects are expected to produce at least two peer-reviewed journal articles tied to the work, which may cover not only final results but also research methods, recruitment and implementation issues, challenges encountered, and preliminary or unexpected findings. Dissemination is also expected to reach multiple audiences, including scientific and professional communities, lay audiences, and federal partners.
