About The Grant

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is launching the Maternal and Child Health Bureau Research Consortium Program (MCHB RCP) to support a national network of researchers dedicated to advancing maternal and child health (MCH) outcomes. This initiative aims to provide essential resources for conducting impactful research and disseminating findings to inform policy and practice effectively. The Autism Research Consortium (RC) will fund up to five research centers focusing on MCHB priorities. These centers will engage in studies that develop, adapt, and share evidence-based strategies and interventions, enhancing the impact and efficiency of MCHB’s research investments. The overarching goal is to promote health and reduce disparities within maternal and child health populations.
