This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the State Maternal Health Innovation (State MHI) program. The purpose of the State MHI program is to reduce maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity (SMM)3 by:
• Improving access to care that is comprehensive, high-quality, appropriate, and on-going throughout the preconception, prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum periods;
• Enhancing state maternal health surveillance and data capacity; and
• Identifying and implementing innovative interventions to improve outcomes for populations disproportionately impacted by maternal mortality and SMM.
Deadline: April 2, 2024
You can apply if your organization is in the United States and is:
• Public or private, non-profit
• Community-based
• Tribal (governments, organizations)
We estimate approximately $18,000,000 to be available each year to fund up to 18 recipients. You may apply for an annual funding amount based on the total number of annual births within the state, as indicated in the table below, with a ceiling amount of up to $2,000,000 annually (reflecting direct and indirect costs) per year for applicants with more than 200,000 annual births within the state.
