What the grant funds

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services for pregnant people and parents with young children up to kindergarten entry. This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding for the Institute for Home Visiting Workforce Development (the Institute) and to establish and operate the Jackie Walorski Center for Evidence-Based Case Management. The purpose of the Institute is to provide support for home visiting programs to expand, support, and retain a diverse and qualified workforce.

In addition, this funding opportunity will support, within the Institute, the establishment and operation of the Jackie Walorski Center for Evidence-Based Case Management (the Center), which will identify, evaluate, and disseminate evidence-based case management best practices within the home visiting context.

This funding opportunity will also support the establishment and operation of the Jackie Walorski Center for Evidence-Based Case Management (the Center), which will identify, evaluate, and disseminate case management strategies implemented within the home visiting context. The Institute will accomplish the above goals through the following objectives: • Assessing the MIECHV home visiting workforce, such as workforce supply and demand. • Conducting an environmental scan as needed to inform resource development. • Maintaining a coalition of diverse partners, experts, and organizations to provide input and expand reach and impact. • Informing and supporting federal, state, tribal, and local efforts to recruit and retain the MIECHV home visiting workforce. • Establishing a comprehensive, online, and searchable library of resources, tools, and trainings. • Developing and/or refining professional development resources and tools. • Identifying and/or refining existing core competencies of the home visiting workforce. • Establishing competency-based professional development plans.
