Poison Control Centers Program

The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration is offering the Poison Control Centers Program, a grant opportunity to fund poison control centers in their efforts to prevent poisonings, provide treatment recommendations, collect surveillance data, and contribute to public health emergency preparedness. Eligible applicants include accredited poison control centers and those seeking accreditation within five years, as well as Native American tribal governments and organizations. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as need, response, evaluation, impact, resources, and budget. The deadline to submit proposals is May 1, 2024.

Up to 52 awards between $356,808 and $2,782,395 per year are expected to be granted through this program, with a total estimated annual budget of $24,846,000. The project period is expected to last from September 2024 through August 2029, and funding will be provided under the Poison Center Support and Enhancement grant program (CFDA 93.253).
