FUNDING-Limited Submission – HRSA – Early Childhood Developmental Health System: Implementation in a High Need State (HRSA-17-125); August 1, 2017

 

Purpose: The purpose of this program is to fund a study focused on improving child health through a statewide system of early childhood developmental screenings and interventions.  This includes improving population level early childhood developmental health outcomes in a state with significant risk factors for poor child health status such as high rates of poverty among children under age 5, high rates of low birthweight infants, and low rates of early childhood developmental screenings.  This goal will be achieved through the implementation of a high quality statewide early childhood developmental health system, an evaluative study on best practices, polices and innovations that can serve as a model for other states with high needs, and the development and utilization of an early childhood cross-systems workforce program.

 

Funding Amount: Up to $3,500,000 per year for one 3-year cooperative agreement award
