Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 149
The State Maternal Health Innovation and Data Capacity Program (HRSA 22-149) is a federal funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, designed to help states strengthen their ability to improve maternal health outcomes and close persistent maternal health disparity gaps. At its core, the program focuses on reducing maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) by supporting state-level systems that can deliver higher-quality care, build and train a stronger workforce, modernize and expand maternal health data capacity, and test or scale innovative approaches that address the most pressing causes of poor outcomes in each state.
The program is built around the idea that meaningful reductions in maternal deaths and severe complications require coordinated action across public health agencies, clinical providers, payers, and community members. Applicants are expected to use evidence-based interventions and policy changes to address critical service gaps in four main areas: direct clinical care, workforce training, maternal health data enhancements, and community engagement. Rather than funding isolated projects, HRSA emphasizes a coordinated statewide effort that combines public health strategies, service delivery improvements, and better data systems so states can identify what is driving harm and then implement targeted solutions.
A central requirement and the primary program component is establishing and supporting a state-focused Maternal Health Task Force (MHTF). This task force is expected to bring together key partners and serve as the organizing body for statewide maternal health improvement work. Each MHTF must develop and implement a maternal health strategic plan that aligns with priorities identified in the state’s most recent Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant Needs Assessment. The plan should also strengthen state surveillance of maternal mortality and SMM and focus innovations on the state’s leading contributors to adverse maternal outcomes, meaning states are expected to tailor their strategies to local data and realities rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
The secondary program component targets maternal health data limitations, acknowledging that many states struggle with fragmented, delayed, incomplete, or difficult-to-access data about pregnancy and postpartum outcomes. Funding is intended to improve the quality, validity, timeliness, and accessibility of maternal health data so states can track indicators both inside and outside clinical settings. These data upgrades are not treated as an end in themselves; they are meant to help states identify priorities more accurately, design better interventions, monitor implementation, and evaluate whether innovations are actually reducing mortality, SMM, and inequities.
A major feature of the opportunity is its integration with the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) program. The State MHI program has been updated since its original launch in 2019 to incorporate AIM data and other maternal health data sources into the design, implementation, and measurement of state innovations. Part of the funding is specifically dedicated to improving the collection, analysis, and reporting of high-quality process, structure, and outcome data for AIM efforts. This supports continuous quality improvement for the implementation of AIM patient safety bundles, which are sets of straightforward, evidence-based practices that hospitals and care teams implement together and reliably to improve outcomes. HRSA highlights that these bundles have been associated with better patient outcomes and reductions in maternal mortality and SMM when consistently applied.
Administratively, this opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement (meaning HRSA expects substantial involvement and collaboration during the project period, not just pass-through funding). The CFDA number listed is 93.110. The posting reflects a creation date of April 13, 2022, and an original application deadline of June 13, 2022. While the notice notes that the program previously funded nine states, the 2022 cycle describes support for 21 state-focused projects intended to move maternal health innovations and recommendations from planning into real-world execution. The eligibility field is listed broadly as “Others,” with details referenced in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information, implying that applicants should confirm whether they meet HRSA’s specific state-focused requirements.
Overall, the grant is aimed at helping states build durable infrastructure: a functioning multi-stakeholder task force, a strategic plan grounded in Title V needs, data systems that can rapidly detect and monitor maternal risks and outcomes, and the capacity to implement and improve evidence-based safety and quality strategies such as AIM bundles. The intended result is not only fewer maternal deaths and severe complications, but also measurable progress in reducing disparities by ensuring that improvements reach the populations experiencing the highest burden of harm.Apply for HRSA 22 149
