    Justification: The majority of pregnancy-related deaths occur 
following delivery. Improving health care outside of the labor and 
delivery setting is an important strategy for reducing pregnancy-
related deaths. The planned supplemental award is within the scope of 
the most recent funding opportunity (HRSA-19-109) program purpose, 
which aims to: (1) support the development and implementation of non-
hospital focused maternal safety bundles within community-based 
organizations and outpatient clinical settings across the United States 
and (2) build upon the foundational work of AIM by addressing 
preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity among 
pregnant and postpartum women outside of hospital and birthing facility 
settings.
    HRSA will award a non-competitive supplement not to exceed $1.8 
million to support the implementation of community-based activities, to 
include maternal safety bundles and supporting resources, with a focus 
on hypertension during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Lessons 
learned from the pilot will be used to strengthen and inform community-
based approaches targeting hypertension in pregnant and postpartum 
people.
