Funding-Limited
Submission – HRSA - Home Visiting
Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (HV CoIIN) (HRSA-13-284); July 25, 2013
Description: This announcement
solicits applications to develop a Home Visiting Collaborative Improvement and
Innovation Network (HV CoIIN) to provide support for
the delivery of maternal and early childhood services, including (but not
limited to) home visiting services provided under the Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting program (MIECHV). MIECHV seeks to identify
families with children ages 0 to 5 years and pregnant women who reside in
at-risk communities and provide comprehensive services to improve outcomes for
these families.
The
purpose of the HV CoIIN is to facilitate the delivery
and accelerate the improvement of home visiting and other early childhood
services, both globally and as provided by MIECHV grantees, so as to obtain
good results faster for low-income and other at-risk families served.
More specifically, the successful applicant will plan and implement a HV CoIIN to facilitate the dissemination of methods and tools
on continuous quality improvement to up to forty (40) home visiting local
implementing agency pilot teams in partnership with other early childhood
service agencies that operate within up to 12 MIECHV grantee states.
Ultimately, the purpose of the HV CoIIN is to produce
faster and more consistent health and development results benefiting families
served by MIECHV program agencies and other early childhood service agencies in
at-risk communities across the country. Concrete examples of the
contemplated results are parental smoking cessation, reduction of adult
depression or child developmental delays or child maltreatment, and attaining
family economic self-sufficiency.
Amount: Approximately
$400,000 is expected to be available annually to fund one (1) cooperative
agreement over a three year project period (Federal fiscal years 2013 –
2015).
