Description

The Maternal and Child Health Bureau Research Consortium Program (MCHB RCP) creates a national group of researchers to study maternal and child health (MCH). In the past, MCHB funded research networks, single investigator innovation studies, and field-initiated research studies. The MCHB RCP merges these programs into one. In FY 2025, this NOFO replaces the Research Network Program; including the Pregnancy-Related Care Research Network (PRCRN) and Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS). MCH RC recipients will develop research-practice partnerships[4] with community organizations, people and families with lived experience,[5] and MCHB programs such as Healthy Start, Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV), and Title V programs. Through these partnerships, you will identify best practices for maximizing the impact of your research. You are expected to focus on one of the following categories. You can focus on one or more of the priority topics listed within each category:
