Healthy Start Initiative--Phase II: Limited Competition Within 
the City of Milwaukee

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds for a limited competition 
within the City of Milwaukee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The HRSA announces the availability funds in fiscal year 1998 
for a single cooperative agreement for the replication of the Healthy 
Start Initiative (HSI) Phase II within the City of Milwaukee. The 
Healthy Start Initiative is a program of projects which, since FY 1991, 
has developed and implemented community-based strategies to reduce 
infant mortality in areas with a high incidence of infant mortality. 
The purpose of Healthy Start-Phase II is to operationalize successful 
infant mortality reduction strategies developed during the 
demonstration phase and to launch Healthy Start projects in new rural 
and urban communities (i.e., communities currently without a Healthy 
Start Initiative-funded project). Within the HRSA, the Healthy Start 
Initiative is administered by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau 
(MCHB). This cooperative agreement for Healthy Start-Phase II in the 
city of Milwaukee will be made under the program authority of Section 
301 of the Public Health Service Act. Funds for this award were 
appropriated under Public Law 104-208.
    To continue Healthy Start efforts to meet critical maternal and 
child health needs within the City of Milwaukee, public and nonprofit 
private organizations within the City of Milwaukee are encouraged to 
apply.

DATES: The application deadline date is Friday, February 20, 1998.

ADDRESS: Interested parties may contact the HRSA Grants Application 
Center for an application package. Requests should specify the Healthy 
Start Initiative--Phase II limited competition within the City of
