Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) Technical Assistance Center

The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Technical Assistance Center is a forecasted federal cooperative agreement opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration. The opportunity number is HRSA-27-027, and the Assistance Listing is 93.688, Innovation for Maternal Health. The opportunity is categorized under Health and is discretionary. The forecast was issued on August 11, 2026. The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health, or AIM, is a quality improvement initiative focused on supporting best practices that make birth safer, improve maternal health outcomes, and save lives. The purpose of the AIM program under this opportunity is to provide technical assistance supporting all 50 states, the District of Columbia, jurisdictions, U.S. territories, tribal communities, and birthing facilities participating in AIM. The stated scope is therefore broad and national, with technical assistance serving the organizations and communities involved in the AIM program. The forecast does not provide more detailed allowable or prohibited spending rules, specific project activities beyond technical assistance, or restrictions on particular cost categories. Those details may be provided when the full funding opportunity is posted. HRSA estimates total program funding of $3,000,000 and expects to make one award. The stated award ceiling is $3,000,000. Although Grants.gov displays an award floor of $0, this amount is treated as missing because a zero award floor does not establish a meaningful minimum award amount. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. Cost sharing or matching is not required. The forecast does not state a period of performance, annual funding allocation, indirect cost limitation, subaward limitation, or other detailed funding condition. Eligibility is unrestricted subject to the additional eligibility clarification in the forecast. Eligible applicants include any domestic public or private entity. The source specifically states that domestic faith-based and community-based organizations, tribes, and tribal organizations are also eligible to apply. This broad language supports eligibility across domestic governmental, nonprofit, educational, tribal, and for-profit entity types. No applicant-specific state restriction is stated. The program itself is intended to support AIM participation across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, jurisdictions, U.S. territories, tribal communities, and birthing facilities. Because this opportunity remains in forecast status, detailed application mechanics and application components are not yet provided in the supplied information. The estimated posting date is October 14, 2026, so the application period has not yet opened as of August 12, 2026. No letter of intent, concept paper, pre-proposal, notice of intent, or other pre-application gating requirement is identified. The source also does not identify required narratives, forms, attachments, evaluation criteria, scoring factors, or other application questions. Applications are expected to be submitted electronically, with the estimated application deadline of November 13, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The estimated award date is February 1, 2027, and the estimated project start date is March 1, 2027. The Grants.gov record lists an archive date of September 1, 2028. No recurring annual, biennial, quarterly, or other repeating application cycle is stated, so this opportunity is not treated as recurring.
