About this opportunity
The Health Resources and Services Administration is forecasting a cooperative agreement opportunity to support the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (Rural MOMS) program, with no application deadline specified in the forecast posting.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), city and county governments, state governments, tribal organizations and tribal governments (federally recognized), special district governments, 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, independent school districts, small businesses, for-profit organizations, and public or Indian housing authorities. No cost share is mentioned for this program.
Awards will support up to four-year project periods. The program's purpose is to support collaborative improvement and innovation networks to improve access to and delivery of maternity and obstetrics care in rural areas. Recent precedent shows substantial awards: the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences received $4,999,755 to deploy mobile maternal health clinics and telehealth services in rural Arkansas counties under a prior cycle (HRSA-25-041, which closed April 22, 2025).
Review criteria emphasize project need, innovation, realistic and measurable goals and objectives, clearly defined roles of network members, strength of management plans, community involvement, level of local commitment, costs, and program evaluation plans. An objective review committee will evaluate all qualified applications, with the HRSA program official making final funding decisions. Projects may be renewed non-competitively after initial awards, contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability.
This opportunity sits within Assistance Listing 93.912, Rural Healthcare Services Programs. Awardees must maintain grant accounting records for three years after submitting the Federal Financial Report. Non-federal entities expending $1 million or more in federal awards annually require a single or program-specific audit.
Forecast synopsis
The purpose of the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (Rural MOMS) program is to support collaborative improvement and innovation networks to improve access to and delivery of maternity and obstetrics care in rural areas.
