Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 051
The Family Leadership in Language and Learning (FL3) Center grant opportunity (HRSA 20-051) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the family-facing side of the national Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) system. HRSA frames this as part of a broader, coordinated approach to EHDI support: one major investment supports state and territory EHDI programs and professionals through the EHDI National Technical Resource Center (NTRC), while the FL3 Center is intended to concentrate specifically on families, parents, and caregivers. The overall aim is to make EHDI systems of care more effective by increasing meaningful family engagement, building family leadership, and improving the quality and consistency of family support for those raising newborns, infants, and young children up to age 3 who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). The notice also clarifies that "DHH" is meant to be inclusive of the full range of hearing levels, laterality, and children who may have additional disabilities or conditions.
At its core, the FL3 Center is envisioned as a national hub that provides technical support to EHDI systems of care at the national, state and territory, and local levels. In this context, an "EHDI system of care" is described broadly as the connected network of families, consumers, providers, services, and programs working to ensure coordinated and comprehensive systems so children receive timely hearing screening, diagnostic evaluation, and early intervention. The grant emphasizes that improving outcomes in early hearing detection is not just about clinical timelines and referrals, but also about ensuring families are supported and positioned as active partners throughout screening, diagnosis, intervention, and beyond.
The work of the FL3 Center is organized around several leadership functions. First, the Center is expected to directly support EHDI Program recipients (HRSA-20-047) in meeting their goals related to family engagement, family leadership, and family support. This support is to be delivered through practical technical assistance and capacity-building activities such as training, education, quality improvement efforts, and evaluation. Second, the Center is meant to operate as a technical resource center that strengthens family engagement and support across EHDI systems by identifying, analyzing, compiling, and sharing evidence-based and innovative practices. That includes policies, tools, and resources that can be adopted or adapted by EHDI programs and partners to improve the family experience and strengthen system performance.
A third major expectation is workforce and leadership development among families themselves: the FL3 Center is tasked with increasing the number of parents and caregivers of children who are DHH who are trained and prepared to serve as family leaders within EHDI systems. In practice, this implies structured training pipelines, leadership development opportunities, and supports that enable parents and caregivers to participate in planning, implementation, quality improvement, and advisory roles at multiple levels. Finally, the Center must build and maintain strong collaborative partnerships across the EHDI landscape, including close coordination with all EHDI Program recipients (HRSA-20-047) and key national partners. The notice specifically calls out collaboration with the EHDI NTRC awardee (HRSA-20-048), the Advancing Systems of Services for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs program (HRSA-18-069) medical home focus area recipient, and other national organizations and stakeholders that represent or serve families of children who are DHH.
Several key definitions signal what HRSA is looking for in terms of approach and outcomes. "Family engagement" is defined as families (and their representatives) and health professionals working in active partnership across different levels of the health care system to improve health and health care, pointing to shared decision-making and co-production rather than one-way education. "Family support" is defined as practices that sustain a holistic process for families across timelines, policies, and procedures as they interact with multiple entities from screening to intervention and beyond. Together, these definitions underline that the FL3 Center is not just about creating information materials, but about improving how systems operate with families, reducing fragmentation, and ensuring continuity and responsiveness.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HRSA, as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health funding activity category, with CFDA number 93.251. The posting date was August 6, 2019, with an original application closing date of November 8, 2019. HRSA anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $450,000. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice. Overall, the FL3 Center competition reflects HRSA's intent to fund one national entity to serve as the central driver for family engagement, leadership development, and family support improvement across EHDI systems nationwide, tightly coordinated with existing HRSA-funded EHDI technical assistance and related system-of-care initiatives.Apply for HRSA 20 051
