Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 085
The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-18-085) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its central purpose is to improve maternal health outcomes by making maternity care safer and higher quality, with a specific focus on reducing maternal deaths and severe maternal morbidity. The program is built around the idea that meaningful progress comes from coordinated action across clinical care, public health systems, and community stakeholders rather than isolated efforts by individual hospitals or providers.
AIM is designed as a national partnership model that brings together provider organizations, state-based health and public health systems, consumer and patient-focused groups, and other relevant stakeholders. The awardee is expected to function as the backbone organization for that partnership, helping align priorities, share practical tools, and support states in carrying out consistent, evidence-based improvements in maternity care. The emphasis is on practical implementation: helping state-based teams move from knowing what works to reliably doing what works in real delivery settings.
At the core of AIM are maternal safety bundles. These bundles are intentionally straightforward sets of evidence-based clinical and operational practices that are implemented together as a package. The logic is that while any single best practice can help, the greatest impact comes when multiple proven practices are adopted collectively and performed reliably across the care team and across facilities. When consistently implemented in labor and delivery and related maternity care settings, these bundles have been associated with improved outcomes and reductions in maternal mortality and severe complications.
The cooperative agreement supports three major categories of work. First, the awardee must lead and convene the national partnership focused on reducing maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, using multidisciplinary collaboration to connect clinicians, hospitals, state leaders, public health experts, and community voices. Second, the awardee must drive broad implementation and adoption of maternal safety bundles through collaborative, state-based teams, meaning the program is not limited to producing guidance but is expected to actively support states and participating organizations in putting the bundles into practice at scale. Third, the awardee must collect and analyze data on process, structure, and outcomes to support continuous quality improvement. This means measuring not only health outcomes, but also whether the right systems are in place and whether the bundle elements are being carried out as intended, then using those findings to refine implementation and improve performance over time.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on December 18, 2017, with an original application closing date of February 16, 2018. HRSA anticipated making one award under this announcement. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the provided source data, which typically signals that the ceiling was not specified in that particular data extract rather than indicating no funding. Eligibility is broadly categorized as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the full announcement text under additional eligibility information.
Overall, the AIM opportunity is aimed at accelerating nationwide, evidence-based improvements in maternity care by funding an organization to coordinate a national effort, support state teams in implementing maternal safety bundles widely, and use robust data and continuous quality improvement methods to ensure that implementation translates into measurable reductions in preventable maternal deaths and severe maternal complications.Apply for HRSA 18 085
