The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) funds more than 900 discretionary grants annually. These discretionary grants help to ensure that quality health care is available to the maternal and child health (MCH) population, which includes all of the nation's women, infants, children, adolescents, and their families, including fathers and children with special health care needs.

Discretionary Grant Data from MCHB-Funded Projects

Program and performance measure data is collected to assess the effectiveness of the discretionary grants and help project officers monitor the progress under these grants. This data can be searched through two sources:

• Discretionary Grant Information System (for projects funded after after October 1, 2002)
• MCH Projects Database (for projects funded through October 1, 2002)
