    Justification: The FY 2023 and 2024 appropriations for Maternal and 
Child Health Block Grant Special Projects of Regional and National 
Significance increased funding for the ITCP, compared to the FY 2022 
enacted level when the most recent new awards were made. A 
Congressional Report accompanying the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47) indicated the funding would 
``continue and expand research-based Infant-Toddler Court Teams to 
change child welfare practices to improve wellbeing for infants, 
toddlers, and their families'' (Senate Report 118-84). Consistent with 
this language, HRSA plans to use this funding to continue work 
initiated in FY 2023 by the ITCP NRC to expand subawards and technical 
assistance to ITCP teams and advance reach and impact of the program. 
Activities included financial and technical support for infant-toddler 
court sites that previously received funding under announcement number 
HRSA-18-123, but that do not currently receive HRSA funding under 
announcement number HRSA-22-073/074.
    The planned supplemental award to the ITCP NRC will be used for 
project activities within the scope of the most recent funding 
opportunity (HRSA-22-074), to continue and expand current technical 
assistance, evaluation and evidence-building activities, and 
implementation support to local ITCP sites. Supplemental funding for 
similar activities may be considered in future years, subject to the 
availability of funding for the activity and satisfactory performance.

Administrator.
