The purpose of this program is to reduce maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) 1 by supporting state-led demonstrations focused on improving maternal health and addressing maternal health disparities through quality services, a skilled workforce, enhanced data quality and capacity, and innovative programming. This program also engages public health professionals, providers, payers, and consumers through state-led Maternal Health Task Forces (MHTF). These Task Forces review state-specific maternal health data and then implement evidence-based interventions and innovations that address critical gaps. FY 2023 funding for this program seeks to provide support to expand to new states focused on improving maternal health. Potential applicants should design submissions to implement innovations to improve health outcomes, develop state-specific plans that will guide maternal health efforts, and enhance measurement of maternal health outcomes.

The National Institute of Mental Health is committed to supporting research that reduces disparities and advances equity in mental health interventions, services, and outcomes. This funding is to encourage innovative research that will inform and support the delivery of high-quality, continuously improving mental health services to benefit the greatest number of individuals with, or at risk for developing, a mental illness. Proposed research should seek to: identify mutable factors that impact access, continuity, utilization, quality, value, and outcomes, including disparities in outcomes, or scalability of mental health services, which may serve as targets in future service delivery intervention development; develop and test new research tools, technologies, measures, or methods and statistical approaches to study these issues; integrate and analyze large data sets to understand factors affecting mental health services outcomes using advanced computational and predictive analytic approaches; wherever possible, leverage existing infrastructure and partnerships to accomplish these goals.

This FOA encourages research relevant to the development of novel screening approaches and/or therapeutic interventions for potentially fatal or disabling conditions that have been identified through newborn screening, as well as for "high priority" genetic conditions where screening may be possible in the near future. Having an accurate screening test, as well as demonstrating the benefits of early intervention or treatment, are important criteria for including a condition on a newborn screening panel. This FOA defines a "high priority" condition as one where screening is not currently recommended, but infants with the condition would significantly benefit from early identification and treatment.
