Description

The purpose of this Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Federally-funded project is to provide funds for the National Support for Title V/ Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Oral Health Services (MCHOHS) Grant Program. The goal of this ongoing national effort is to help in the development of effective strategies aimed at improving maternal and child oral health status. The MCHOHS grant program will provide support to health professionals, program administrators, educators, policymakers, researchers, and others who seek to address current and emerging public oral health issues in their efforts to achieve sustainable oral health services for the MCH population (defined as women, infants, children, adolescents, including those with special health care needs, and their families). Such efforts will augment and/or stabilize oral health services within Title V programs as well as other State, community and local safety-net programs serving the oral health needs of the MCH population, including but not limited to those focused on perinatal services, newborn home-visiting efforts, and school-based health centers (SBHCs).
