Submission – Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) – Life
Course Research Network Program (LCRN):
February 7, 2013
Description:
The
Maternal and Child Health Bureau will award a cooperative agreement to support a
LCRN focused on improving the understanding of the socio-environmental
determinants of health experienced at different life course stages for the
maternal and child health (MCH) population through engagement of researchers,
practitioners, policymakers and consumers in a collaborative, innovative, and
multidisciplinary research project. The LCRN is designed to accelerate
the translation of the life course theory to MCH practice and policy and foster
its rapid adoption into clinical and public health practice through systems
integration and collaboration with entities that have a common goal of
improving MCH outcomes (e.g., Title V programs, state and local health
departments, community safety net programs and other public health programs
serving underserved communities).
Amount:
Approximately
$150,000 is expected to be available annually to fund one grantee for a project
period of three years.
