SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of Award: University of Nebraska Medical Center/
Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska.
Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $700,000.
Period of Supplemental Funding: 05/01/2019-04/30/2020.
CFDA Number: 93.110.
Authority: Social Security Act, Title V, Sec. 501(a)(2) (42 U.S.C.
701(a)(2)).
Justification: The purpose of the Partnership for Urban MCH
Leadership Community Cooperative Agreement program is to support urban
MCH leaders as they work to improve public health programs and the
delivery of MCH services, and to assure optimal alignment with the
Title V MCH Services Block Grant program. This program focuses on the
following three goals:
1. Assisting urban MCH leaders in achieving collective impact to
respond to the MCH challenges faced by urban communities by performing
an environmental scan, planning and convening a series of three
learning collaborative for urban MCH leaders, and developing and
disseminating a collective impact toolkit and compendium;
2. Strengthening local and State MCH analytic capacity through
epidemiology training opportunities; and
3. Serving as an effective voice in communicating urban MCH issues
and in developing strong partnerships and collaborations with State
Title V programs and other national partners to advance urban MCH
priorities.
The purpose of the supplement from HRSA is to give the University
of Nebraska Medical Center/Board of Regents of the University of
Nebraska for the Partnership for Urban MCH Leadership Community
Cooperative Agreement, the opportunity to collect impact data for an
additional year in support of goal one of this project. An additional
year will allow the recipient to mature the current projects, continue
collecting data from teams, and begin to assess the impact that this
collective impact work has had on urban outcomes, as well as any impact
at the State Title V National Performance Measure level. The recipient
also will have the opportunity for more extensive data analysis to
assess effective strategies that impact urban outcomes, and to identify
lessons learned for potential future collective impact initiatives.
With an extra year, the recipient will be able to assess penetration of
collective impact into broader communities, and plan for providing
technical assistance regarding replication of these learning
collaborative in new urban areas.
This cooperative agreement also supports epidemiology training
(Goal 2) and enables the award recipient to serve as a voice for
advancing urban MCH priorities (Goal 3), which are ongoing needs. This
supplement will maintain HRSA's investment in strengthening local and
State MCH analytic capacity through epidemiology training
opportunities, as provided by Goal 2, to assure optimal capacity to
respond to MCH emerging and priority issues at the state and local
level, such as opioids and neonatal abstinence syndrome. In addition,
assuring that a national partner is continuing to communicate urban MCH
issues, as addressed by Goal 3, is a foundational need of the state-
urban MCH partnership, and is essential for optimizing Title V MCH
Block Grant outcomes.
