This opportunity supports initiatives to improve the health of pregnant and postpartum women and their newborns through quality improvement (QI) efforts in perinatal care. The program is structured in two components:

- Component B: Funds an organization to serve as the national coordinating center for the National Network of PQCs (NNPQC), providing technical assistance, facilitating collaboration, and disseminating best practices and resources among PQCs and partners nationwide.
Expected outcomes include increased implementation of effective QI initiatives, improved healthcare services, better continuity and coordination of care, and enhanced health outcomes for mothers and infants across the U.S.
