Description
This forecasted opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aims to fund a Regional Pediatric Prevention Network (RPPN).

The RPPN will involve at least 10 children’s hospitals (or affiliated university pediatric partners), funded through two major awards, and will also engage community partners. The initiative targets improvements in preparedness for children with special health care needs, behavioral health challenges, those living in poverty, and children in rural, remote, or tribal areas.
