About this opportunity
This funding opportunity from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative or enhanced payment models for community-based maternal support services. Applicants must identify payment models to reduce maternal and infant health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations. Key requirements include developing partnerships, implementing a payment model within an area of high adverse outcomes, and conducting a process and outcomes evaluation to assess the model's impact on maternal and infant health. Applications are due by July 18, 2023 and will be evaluated based on the thoroughness of the proposed payment model and evaluation approach.
Budgets and project periods are not specified, but recipients will be expected to develop public-private partnerships to support implementation within geographic areas experiencing significant racial and ethnic health disparities in maternal and infant outcomes. Performance of work will likely occur where awardees propose to establish innovative payment models for community-based doula and health worker services.
Synopsis
The Office of Minority Health (OMH) is dedicated to improving the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs that will help eliminate health disparities. Through its demonstration projects, OMH supports the identification of effective approaches for improving health outcomes with the goal of promoting dissemination and sustainability of these approaches.OMH intends projects funded under the Healthy Families Community-Based Perinatal Health Initiative (COPHI) to develop innovative models for integrating community-based maternal support services (COMSS) into perinatal systems of care. COMSS are social and supportive services that address social determinants of health (SDOH), such as health literacy; pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting education; cultural and linguistic diversity; exposure to trauma, housing; food; and transportation. These services are provided during pregnancy, labor and delivery and after delivery by trained individuals, such as doulas and community health workers. Integrating COMSS into perinatal systems of care will ultimately improve pregnant and post-partum people's health outcomes and reduce racial and ethnic disparities.
