Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 024
The Black Lung Center of Excellence (BLCE) funding opportunity (HRSA-17-024) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It was designed for the FY 2017 to FY 2020 grant cycle and focuses on improving how the Black Lung Clinics Program (BLCP) operates nationwide. The central aim is to strengthen BLCP awardees so they can more effectively examine, diagnose, and treat respiratory and pulmonary impairments among both active and former coal miners, while also building a clearer national picture of coal miners health needs through better data collection and analysis.
The core problem the opportunity targets is that BLCP clinics need stronger, more consistent ways to identify miners with black lung disease, understand what services those miners need, and track whether clinics are meeting those needs. The BLCE is meant to serve as a coordinating and capacity-building hub that helps clinics improve the quality, consistency, and usefulness of the information they collect on the miners they serve. By improving data practices, clinics can enhance day-to-day operations, broaden or refine services, and demonstrate impact more clearly across the program.
Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, HRSA is expected to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The recipient is expected to collaborate closely with HRSA, existing BLCP awardees, and other federal partners. In practice, that partnership emphasis signals that the BLCE role is not just research or just clinical support; it is more of a program-strengthening function where the recipient helps clinics assess and implement better approaches to data collection, data management, and analysis, with the goal of improving both service delivery and shared learning across the BLCP network.
A major deliverable implied by the description is the development and support of improved data systems or standardized data approaches that can be used across BLCP sites. This includes helping awardees figure out the best ways to gather meaningful information about miners health status, diagnostic findings, service utilization, and unmet needs. Another key outcome is contributing to the broader body of knowledge on black lung disease and coal miner health nationally, meaning the BLCE is expected to translate improved data into insights that help the program understand trends, gaps, and priorities across regions and clinic sites.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), indicating that HRSA intended to fund one organization to function as the national center of excellence supporting the broader BLCP network. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summary field rather than that no funding would be provided. Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which suggests that applicants could include a range of entity types depending on the detailed eligibility criteria in the full announcement.
Key administrative details from the notice include the CFDA number 93.965, a creation date of January 5, 2017, and an original closing date of March 6, 2017. Overall, the BLCE opportunity is best understood as an effort to improve the effectiveness and consistency of black lung-related clinical services through program-wide operational support, with data improvement as the main lever for better care delivery and better national understanding of coal miners respiratory health needs.Apply for HRSA 17 024
