The Partnership for National MCH Leadership program will provide vital support to improve the capacity of the following programs to better serve MCH populations and improve health outcomes:

• State Title V MCH Services Block Grant (Title V) (Focus Area 1)


• Urban MCH Programs (Focus Area 2) For purposes of this NOFO, urban MCH programs are located in any city or county health department having jurisdiction over one or more areas with populations of 100,000 or larger.


• Healthy Start (Focus Area 3)


• Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) (Focus Area 4)

The Partnership for National MCH Leadership is made up of one award recipient for each of the four focus areas (four recipients total) and will include organizations with national reach who will serve state MCH programs, urban MCH programs, Healthy Start, and MIECHV programs over a 5-year period. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) expands the Partnership for National MCH Leadership to provide collaborative support that ensures a more effective, coordinated system of MCH care.

This program requires recipients to build organizational capacity, provide education and training of the MCH workforce, offer opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, foster collaboration between states, U.S. territories and freely associated states, as applicable, and local MCH programs, and address the emerging needs of state and local MCH programs in the context of national priorities.

All four recipients should be essential MCH program leaders in states, U.S. territories and freely associated states, as applicable, and communities. Recipients will be funded to align key activities and increase capacity of state and local MCH leaders toward a more effective, coordinated system of MCH care.
