About this opportunity
This cooperative agreement opportunity from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service seeks proposals from accredited institutions of higher education to administer a subgrant program investigating the relationship between participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and maternal health outcomes. Proposals must include administering research subgrants using data sources like PRAMS, expanding the network of maternal health researchers, and disseminating results. Evaluation will consider technical approach, expanding the evidence base, staff qualifications, and involvement of minority-serving institutions. The deadline for applications is February 14, 2024, with anticipated award by March 2024.
Funding of up to $1,000,000 over four years is available to support the subgrant program, research network expansion, and dissemination of findings. Research and coordination are expected to take place at the applicant institution and among the subgrant recipients' organizations, with results informing actions to improve maternal health in groups at highest risk.
Synopsis
The goal of this RFA is to facilitate rigorous academic research into WIC's relationship to this important public health concern. The grantee is expected to propose a robust academic subgrant program to investigate this relationship using existing secondary data, identifying and constructing novel data sets to further examine this relationship, and by supporting and growing a diverse academic community that is invested in sustaining research related to the relationship between WIC and maternal health outcomes. Subgrant program analyses will be required to examine the prevalence of these conditions by participation in WIC overall and by race, ethnicity, and age. The findings from this analysis will inform actions to improve maternal health in groups at highest risk for maternal morbidity and mortality.
