– Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Knowledge to Practice Program
(HRSA-13-197) and MCH Navigator Program (HRSA-13-262);
February 25, 2013
Description:
The
Maternal and Child Health Bureau is committed to advancing the knowledge and
skills of practicing MCH professionals. Two types of programs will be
funded under this initiative:
(1)
The Knowledge to Practice grants focus on increasing the skills of MCH
professionals by facilitating the timely transfer of new information, research
findings and technology related to MCH, and updating and improving the
knowledge and skills of health and related professionals in programs serving
mothers and children. Applicants can develop on site, distance education, or blended
methods for maximum impact with their target audience; however, a distance
learning component is required in order to reach a broad audience and achieve
regional and/or national significance.
Amount:
$290,000
will support up to nine (9) grants ranging from $30,000 to $100,000 per year
for up to three (3) years.
(2)
The MCH Navigator cooperative
agreement complements the Knowledge to Practice grants, using a web site to
link learners to open-access webcasts, presentations, instructional modules,
and online courses covering essential MCH skills and knowledge. MCHB wants to
assure that content developed by Knowledge to Practice grants, MCH graduate
education programs and continuing education developed by others is readily
available to the wider MCH Title V and public health communities. This program
will have four main roles and areas of activity: Strategic and Collaborative
Assessment and Planning, Communications and Outreach, Direction and Guidance in
the Development of Innovations and Content Quality, and Accountability and
Evaluation.
Amount:
$180,000
will support one (1) cooperative agreement per year for up to three (3) years.
