Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 070
The Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) Training Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 23-070) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its central goal is to expand and strengthen the developmental-behavioral pediatrics workforce so that children and adolescents with a broad range of developmental and behavioral concerns can get timelier, higher-quality evaluations and services. The program emphasizes care that addresses both the medical and psychosocial sides of development, which is especially important for families navigating complex needs such as autism and other developmental disabilities (DD), as well as behavioral and mental health concerns.
The funding is designed to support training programs that develop clinicians and leaders who can function as expert providers, educators, and researchers in DBP. Awardees are expected to prepare DBP fellows and other long-term trainees for leadership roles, meaning graduates should be ready to teach future clinicians, contribute to research and investigation, and deliver specialized clinical care. A major workforce objective is to increase the field’s capacity to evaluate children for developmental disabilities, including autism, and to diagnose or rule out DD and related behavioral health concerns. Alongside clinical skill-building, the program also expects trainees to gain research training and experience across a wide range of behavioral and developmental health topics, reflecting the reality that DBP practice sits at the intersection of pediatrics, psychology, education, and community systems.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is not limited to training only DBP subspecialists. Programs are also expected to spread core psychosocial and developmental-behavioral expertise across the wider pediatric workforce by training pediatric practitioners, residents, and medical students. This includes providing practical clinical knowledge that can be used in everyday settings where families often first seek help, such as primary care clinics and general pediatric practices. In addition, funded programs must deliver continuing education to practicing providers, supporting the idea that improving access to DBP-informed care requires upskilling clinicians who are already in the field, not just training new specialists.
The opportunity also includes a systems-level component through technical assistance (TA). Grantees are required to provide TA activities that strengthen systems of care for children who may have autism and/or developmental disabilities and their families. TA can be directed to organizations such as state Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant agencies and community agencies, with the aim of improving coordination, referral pathways, and service delivery across healthcare and community settings. This focus recognizes that even when clinical expertise exists, families may still face barriers due to fragmented systems, uneven access, and limited service capacity.
HRSA outlines five overarching performance objectives that each funded recipient must meet over a five-year period. First, programs must recruit and train a total of 10 long-term trainees (LTTs) across the project period, including 5 DBP fellows and 5 other long-term trainees. Second, programs must conduct at least one activity per year that explicitly addresses equity and improves access to DBP services, reinforcing that workforce growth should also reduce disparities in care. Third, programs must train at least 200 short- and medium-term trainees each year, which is intended to rapidly broaden the number of clinicians with DBP-relevant skills. Fourth, programs must train at least 150 practicing providers annually through continuing education, extending the program’s reach to the existing workforce. Fifth, programs must complete at least 10 technical assistance activities each year to help strengthen systems of care for children with possible autism/DD and their families.
