What the grant funds

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Maternal and Child Health Secondary Data Analysis Research (MCH SDAR) Program. The purpose of the MCH SDAR Program is to support applied MCH research that utilizes the secondary analysis of existing national data sets and/or administrative records to improve the health and well-being of MCH populations. The MCH SDAR program provides the opportunity for researchers across the nation to build the MCH evidence base by using existing data sets, such as national data sets and/or administrative records, to identify emerging issues, study new research questions, test hypotheses, and determine pathways for intervention. Existing and emerging public health challenges affecting MCH populations including children with special health care needs require timely, evidence-based responses from MCH programs, policy, and practice. Without sufficient evidence or data, it is challenging to develop interventions addressing both existing and emerging MCH issues. This program will allow us to achieve timely, evidence-based responses to these challenges. Findings from the research supported by the MCH SDAR Program are expected to: • Strengthen and expand the evidence base on topics addressed by the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant National Performance Measures (see Appendix A). For more background materials on the Title V Program, see: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/titlevgrants/index.html. By supporting research on MCH populations, the MCH SDAR Program aims to inform HRSA Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s (MCHB’s) other investments and programs, see: https://mchb.hrsa.gov/maternal-child-health-initiatives; • Address HRSA MCHB’s Strategic Research Issues such as improving public health systems and infrastructure, reducing health inequalities, increasing quality of and access to care, addressing health disparities, improving health equity2, and/or promoting the health of MCH populations; • Address Healthy People 2030 objectives that are relevant to the application.
