                the Reaching Practicing Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Professionals

                SUMMARY: HRSA announces the award of a supplement of $705,246 for the
                Reaching Practicing MCH Professionals in Underserved Areas through
                Education and Training Program (hereafter Program) recipients. The
                supplement will allow the current four recipients, during the period of
                June 1, 2019-May 31, 2020, to continue supporting the development and
                implementation of in-depth training tailored to the specific needs of
                MCH public health professionals practicing in underserved communities,
                including rural and frontier areas and Indian reservations.
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Intended Recipients of Award: The Regents of the University of
                Colorado, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston,
                University of New Mexico, and University of Washington.
                 Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: $705,246.
                 Period of Supplemental Funding: 06/01/2019-05/31/2020.
                 CFDA Number: 93.110.
                 Authority: Social Security Act, Title V, Sec. 501(a)(2) (42 U.S.C.
                701(a)(2)).
                 Justification: The purpose of the Program is to strengthen the
                nation's (59 states and jurisdictions) public health system by
                developing the MCH public health workforce in underserved and
                geographically isolated communities, including rural, frontier areas,
                and Indian reservations. The purpose of the supplement from HRSA is to
                extend the performance period of the current four recipients to
                continue supporting the development and implementation of in-depth
                training tailored to the specific needs of MCH public health
                professionals practicing in underserved communities. These four
                recipients received their original awards for the period of June 1,
                2014 through May 31, 2019 through a competitive process. The non-
                competitive supplement will allow grantees to complete training
                activities consistent with approved activities in their competing
                applications. Activities will include outreach and training for MCH
                professionals in tribal communities and training for MCH professionals
                on pressing topics such as mental health and substance use disorders.
                This supports the overall goal of the Program to strengthen the
                nation's public health system by developing the MCH public health
                workforce in underserved and geographically isolated communities.
