| MCH
Projects Database
The
MCH Projects Database includes data on all Maternal and Child Health
Bureau
(MCHB) discretionary grantees funded through October 1, 2002, including
Special Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS), Community
Integrated
Service
System
(CISS)
projects, Abstinence Education, and other programs funded outside Title
V. It may be searched by
name, location, keywords, and other fields. A list of selected final
reports received in electronic formats is also available.
Projects
funded after
October 1, 2002 are available from the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau.
The primary audience
for database information is MCHB central and regional staff, particularly
staff from MCHB's Office of Program Development and from offices at the
Health Resources and Services Administration and U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS) level. Reports containing MCHB project information
are developed from the MCH Projects Databases and provide pertinent data
for agency and bureau staff who are evaluating the MCH Projects Database
or analyzing initiatives, policies, or programs. In addition,
project data are disseminated to Congressional members and other key maternal
and child health (MCH) stakeholders.
The projects database
includes information on projects in the following program areas:
Funded
Within Title V
SPRANS: Approximately
15 percent of the Title V funds are allocated to SPRANS. Within SPRANS,
there are five categories of projects:
- Research. MCHB
funds applied research projects, not basic research. New knowledge and
approaches acquired through these projects are intended to improve health
care delivery systems for mothers and children.
- Training. MCH
training grants address the need for skilled leadership personnel who
can conduct effective and efficient MCH programs, and for developing
and providing specialized support and services for these programs.
- Genetic Disease
Testing, Counseling, and Information Dissemination. These projects serve
individuals and families at risk for or affected by genetic disorders.
The projects seek to integrate genetic services into other existing
health service programs.
- Hemophilia Diagnostic
and Treatment Centers. This category of SPRANS supports 10 regional
programs that are linked to state Title V programs and other resources.
- Maternal and Child
Health Improvement Projects (MCHIPs). Spanning a range of activities,
MCHIPs support demonstrations of innovative services and new techniques
for the delivery of services.
CISS: CISS
is a second set-aside program. The goal of CISS is to reduce infant mortality
and improve the health of mothers, pregnant women, and children through
support for the development and expansion of community integrated service
systems. These systems are public-private partnerships of health-related
and other relevant organizations and individuals collaborating to use
community resources to address community-identified health problems.
Abstinence
Education: This
grant program provides formula grants to states for abstinence
education.
Funded
Outside Title V
Emergency Medical
Services for Children: This program provides funds to selected states
to improve their capacity to respond to children's unique emergency medical
needs.
Traumatic Brain
Injury: This program of demonstration grants emphasizes states' activities
to implement statewide systems that ensure access to comprehensive and
coordinated traumatic brain injury services.
Healthy Start:
Now in its replication phase, this initiative provides resources and technical
assistance to 94 communities with high infant mortality rates.
