Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 040
The Maternal and Child Health Interdisciplinary Education in Pediatric Pulmonary Centers Program (often referred to as the PPC program) is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to strengthen the pediatric pulmonary workforce and improve care for children and youth with complex respiratory-related needs. At its core, the program focuses on improving the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents living with chronic respiratory conditions, sleep problems, and other related special health care needs by building high-quality, team-based training environments and expanding access to services.
A central feature of the PPC program is interdisciplinary leadership training at the graduate and post-graduate levels. Funded centers are expected to train professionals who can lead and collaborate across disciplines, specifically including pediatric pulmonary medicine, nursing, nutrition, and social work, plus at least one additional discipline selected to broaden the team’s expertise. The intent is to ensure trainees do not learn in silos, but instead develop the practical skills needed to function as part of coordinated care teams that address the medical, nutritional, behavioral, and social factors affecting respiratory health.
Another major emphasis is meaningful partnership with families. The program explicitly expects centers to engage families as full partners, not simply as recipients of care. This includes advancing family-centered practice, strengthening policies that reflect family perspectives, and supporting research approaches that incorporate lived experience. In practical terms, this typically means families having active roles in program planning, training activities, quality improvement efforts, and advisory structures so that services and educational models better reflect real-world needs and priorities.
The program also targets improved access to care through innovative service delivery and learning models. Applicants are encouraged to expand reach through telehealth, collaborative systems of care such as medical homes, and distance-learning approaches. This reflects an understanding that many children with chronic respiratory or sleep-related conditions face barriers like geographic distance from specialty centers, shortages of trained providers, and fragmented care. By supporting modernized delivery models and collaboration across settings, the PPC program aims to connect more families to appropriate expertise and reduce gaps in ongoing management.
In addition to training and service innovations, PPC centers are expected to function as resource hubs by providing technical assistance, consultation, continuing education, and subject matter expertise. This component is meant to strengthen academic-practice partnerships, helping bridge universities and training programs with clinical sites and community-based systems. The broader goal is to spread best practices beyond the funded center itself, supporting clinicians and organizations that serve maternal and child health populations and promoting consistent, evidence-informed approaches to pediatric pulmonary and related care.
Equity and workforce diversity are built into the program’s objectives. The PPC program prioritizes supporting diverse and underrepresented trainees and faculty and strengthening the cultural competence of the training environment. This includes developing the skills needed to recognize and address health disparities and to deliver effective care in underserved communities. The intention is not only to diversify the pipeline of leaders in pediatric pulmonary care, but also to ensure that care teams are better equipped to respond to social determinants of health, cultural and linguistic needs, and structural barriers that contribute to unequal outcomes.
