About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration is seeking applicants for the State Maternal Health Innovation (State MHI) program. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to improve maternal health and address maternal health disparities through state-led demonstrations focused on quality services, a skilled workforce, enhanced data quality and capacity, and innovative programming. Eligible applicants include county and state governments, small businesses, nonprofits, and tribal organizations. Applications will be evaluated based on the establishment of a Maternal Health Task Force, development of a five-year Maternal Health Strategic Plan, improvements in state-level maternal health data collection and reporting, and the implementation of innovative strategies to address identified needs and disparities, particularly for disproportionately affected populations. The application deadline is April 2, 2024.

Up to 18 new cooperative agreements will be awarded, totaling approximately $18 million annually. The period of performance is five years from September 2024 to September 2029. The program is funded under the Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs (CFDA 93.110) administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration.
