The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Thomas Jefferson University $438,910 on August 17, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to develop and pilot a group-based well-child care model that integrates maternal healthcare for mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The recipient will execute two primary aims. In Aim 1, the institution will conduct a user-centered design process including focus groups with mothers and in-depth provider interviews to explore feasibility and acceptability of the group model, then develop a program prototype and optimize it through think-aloud testing with mothers and providers. In Aim 2, Thomas Jefferson University will pilot the intervention with 30 mothers affected by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and their children, clustering participants into groups of approximately five dyads to assess feasibility, acceptability, and implementation. Performance occurs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a period of performance through July 31, 2028. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
