Description
This grant opportunity, administered by the Indiana Department of Health's Maternal and Child Health Division, funds community-driven projects aimed at improving maternal and child health outcomes across Indiana. The initiative emphasizes building coordinated partnerships to connect pregnant individuals with early prenatal care providers, supporting efforts to reduce infant mortality, improve birth outcomes, and address other strategic maternal and child health (MCH) priorities for 2025–2030. Programs must target Indiana populations, demonstrate collaboration (especially with local health departments), and align with one or more MCH priority domains: women/maternal, perinatal/infant, child, or adolescent health.
