Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 042
The Transition for Youth with Autism and/or Epilepsy Demonstration Projects funding opportunity (HRSA-24-042) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.110. It is designed to help build and strengthen practical frameworks at the national, state, and local/community levels that make it easier for youth with autism and/or epilepsy who have complex health and social needs to successfully move from child-serving systems into adult-serving systems. The core focus is on youth who often need intensive coordination and a higher level of family support, recognizing that the shift to adult health care, adult services, and adult community supports can be fragmented and difficult without deliberate planning and cross-system collaboration.
This notice is part of a broader HRSA initiative that also includes a separate but related award: the National Coordinating Center on Transition (NCCT), listed as HRSA-24-041. Applicants must choose only one of these two opportunities. HRSA explicitly states that an organization may apply for either the Demonstration Projects (HRSA-24-042) or the Coordinating Center (HRSA-24-041), but not both, and HRSA will not consider applications from entities that submit to more than one of the two funding opportunity numbers or focus areas. In practice, this means organizations need to decide whether they are proposing to operate a direct demonstration project (HRSA-24-042) or to serve in a coordinating/center role (HRSA-24-041), and then submit only one application accordingly.
For HRSA-24-042 specifically, HRSA anticipates making about 11 awards, with an award ceiling of $450,000. The opportunity was created on November 1, 2023, and the original application closing date listed is March 13, 2024. As a grant (not a contract), the funding is intended to support programmatic work that develops, tests, improves, and spreads approaches that help youth and families navigate the transition to adult systems more smoothly. While the notice summary does not list required activities in detail, the stated purpose points to efforts like building cross-agency partnerships, improving care coordination, strengthening family-centered planning, and creating repeatable models that communities and states can use to reduce gaps when youth age out of pediatric and school-based supports.
Eligibility for HRSA-24-042 is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including special districts), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and other eligible entities as defined by Grants.gov. Organizations must also be located in an eligible area, which includes the United States and several U.S.-affiliated jurisdictions and freely associated states: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The notice also points applicants to Grants.gov eligibility guidance for additional detail.
Overall, HRSA-24-042 is aimed at improving real-world transition outcomes for a high-need population by helping communities and systems work together more effectively. The key themes are bridging pediatric-to-adult service gaps, strengthening coordination across health and social supports, and ensuring youth with autism and/or epilepsy and their families are better supported during a period when services often change abruptly and eligibility rules, provider networks, and responsibility for care shift significantly.Apply for HRSA 24 042
