Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 19 061
The Innovations in Care Coordination for Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Developmental Disabilities Program (HRSA-19-061) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed to improve how children and youth with, or at risk for, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD) connect to timely, coordinated, and integrated health and support services. The program specifically targets medically underserved areas and underserved populations, where families often face longer waits for diagnostic evaluations, fewer specialty providers, transportation and cost barriers, and fragmented systems that force parents to coordinate care on their own.
This funding builds directly on earlier HRSA efforts (HRSA-16-048 and HRSA-13-207) and is meant to strengthen practical, on-the-ground care coordination models that work across primary care, specialty care, and community-based services. HRSA emphasizes two core strategies that applicants are expected to implement in a clear, structured way. The first is Family Navigation, which focuses on expanding navigation supports that help families communicate more effectively with both primary and specialty providers, move more smoothly from concern or screening to diagnostic evaluation, and then into appropriate ASD/DD services and community resources. A key piece of navigation is family education: teaching parents and caregivers how the system works, what services are available, how referrals and evaluations typically proceed, and how to advocate for needed supports. The goal is not only to connect families to services, but also to increase their confidence and self-efficacy so they can better manage ongoing care needs over time.
The second strategy is Provider Education, which centers on improving the ability of healthcare providers and community-based organizations to serve children with ASD/DD through training, education, and technical assistance. HRSA frames this as a learning community approach, meaning participating providers and organizations share common training expectations, use structured support to improve practice, and learn from one another to spread effective care coordination approaches. In practical terms, this strategy is aimed at reducing gaps between what families need and what systems deliver, by helping professionals adopt better screening, referral, follow-up, and cross-system communication practices.
In this program, "at risk for ASD/DD" is defined in a service-delivery sense, not as a formal diagnosis. It includes children flagged through routine primary care developmental surveillance as needing additional screening or a more complete evaluation. This is important because the grant is intended to support earlier, more efficient pathways to evaluation and services rather than only supporting families after a diagnosis has already been made.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $372,000 per award, with an anticipated five awards. The opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 93.877. Eligible applicants are identified broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. HRSA also ties the program to its definition of medically underserved areas, directing applicants to HRSA shortage area and underserved area resources to justify and document the needs of the communities they propose to serve.
Overall, the grant is focused on making care coordination real and usable for families raising children with ASD/DD in underserved settings: improving access to diagnostic and treatment resources, strengthening communication across providers and systems, building family capacity to navigate complex services, and upgrading provider and community organization skills through training and shared learning.Apply for HRSA 19 061
