Description
This opportunity funds the establishment and operation of a Regional Pediatric Prevention Network (RPPN) to enhance the capacity of children’s hospitals and their communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies affecting children. The program aims to coordinate pediatric disaster care, expand telehealth systems, promote research-informed practices, and foster community partnerships—particularly for children with special health care needs, behavioral health concerns, and those living in poverty, rural, remote, or tribal areas. The RPPN will be structured as a single, integrated national network, funded through two primary cooperative agreements, each comprising at least five children’s hospitals or their affiliated university pediatric partners representing different HHS regions.
