U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration -- Healthy Start Initiative
The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration’s Healthy Start Initiative grants are designed to address significant disparities in perinatal health indicators among Hispanics, American Indians, African Americans, Alaska Natives, Asian\Pacific Islanders, and immigrant populations. Communities must provide a scope of project services that will cover pregnancy and interconceptional phases for women and infants residing in the proposed project area. Services are to be provided to both mother and infant for two years following delivery in order to promote longer interconceptional periods and prevent relapses of unhealthy risk behaviors.
Approximately 74 grants will be awarded, with an average grant size of $750,000. Eligible applicants include state, county and city or township governments, as well as independent school districts.
Deadline: December 5, 2008
Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
