The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) is offering funding under the RFGA2025-022 - Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) Home Visiting Program to provide evidence-based home visiting services within identified at-risk communities in Arizona. The Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) model delivers voluntary home visits conducted by nurses to eligible low-income pregnant individuals and their families. The program is designed to improve maternal and infant health outcomes through comprehensive nursing support and guidance.
The Nurse Family Partnership model is well-established and focuses on promoting positive health, social, and economic outcomes among first-time mothers and their children. Services are tailored to address the unique needs of participating families, helping to ensure healthier pregnancies, improved child health and development, and greater economic self-sufficiency for families. Additionally, the funding opportunity supports the adaptation of this model through NFPx to broaden reach and impact.
Funding for this opportunity totals $885,669.86, drawn from a combination of Arizona state general funds and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. These funds will be available through June 30, 2027. While ADHS anticipates making one award, it reserves the right to distribute funds across multiple recipients at its discretion to best serve the interests of the state. The use of funds is subject to ADHS's oversight and may change if grant requirements are not met or available funding is adjusted.
Eligible applicants include government agencies, non-profit organizations, and tribal entities operating within the State of Arizona. The eligibility criteria ensure that entities equipped to deliver or adapt the NFP model within local communities can participate. Specific geographical targeting beyond the state level was not noted, implying the opportunity is open statewide.
Applicants must submit their proposals between the application start date of June 13, 2025, and the closing date of July 28, 2025. A pre-application conference will be held virtually on June 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM Arizona time. Interested parties can join via a provided Google Meet link or by dialing into a designated conference line.
