    Justification: In fiscal year 2024, the Office of the Secretary's 
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund, administered by the 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, will 
support a supplement to the HRSA-funded ALDP to create a longitudinal 
dataset for conducting patient-centered maternal and infant health 
research by linking multiple databases. Through this supplement, ALDP 
will develop a dataset on maternal and infant biological, socio-
economic, behavioral risk and protective factors, and health services 
indicators. The ALDP current recipient is uniquely qualified to conduct 
this work because it has:
     A long-standing record of successfully completing 
government-funded projects.
     Led and managed the BBC since its inception in 1998.

     Deep experience in the complexities of data sharing across 
institutions and the technical aspects of linking data.
     Access to and adherence to protections for restricted 
datasets.
