-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: HRSA announces its intent to award a program expansion 
supplement in the amount of $171,691 for the National Center for 
Medical Home Implementation (NCMHI) cooperative agreement. The purpose 
of the NCMHI cooperative agreement, as stated in the funding 
opportunity announcement, is to: (1) Support a national resource and 
technical assistance effort to implement and spread the medical home 
model to all children and youth, particularly children with special 
health care needs (CSHCN), children who are vulnerable and/or medically 
underserved, and pediatric populations served by state public health 
programs, HRSA, and HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB); and 
(2) support activities of the Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for 
Children Program (HTPCP) grantees to improve children's health through 
innovative community-based efforts, and community and statewide 
partnerships among professionals in health, education, social services, 
government, and business. The purpose of this notice is to announce the 
award of supplemental funds to enhance the Rural IMPACT project by 
supporting activities related to child health in rural and underserved 
communities by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the cooperative 
agreement awardee who serves as the NCMHI, during the budget period of 
July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016. The NCMHI is authorized by the Social 
Security Act, title V, sections 501(a)(1)(D) and 501(a)(2), (42 U.S.C. 
701(a)(1)(D) and 701(a)(2)).
    The NCHMI is a national resource to implement and spread the 
medical home model to all children and youth, particularly children 
with special heath care needs and children who are vulnerable and/or 
medically underserved. The NCMHI supports activities of the HTPCP 
grantees to improve children's health through innovative community-
based efforts, and community and statewide partnerships among 
professionals in health, education, social services, government, and 
business.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Intended Recipient of the Award: The American Academy of 
Pediatrics.
    Amount of the Non-Competitive Award: $171,691.
    CFDA Number: 93.110.
    Current Project Period: 07/01/2008-06/30/2018.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: 7/1/2015-6/30/2016.

    Authority:  Social Security Act, Title V, sections 501(a)(1)(D) 
and 501(a)(2), (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(1)(D) and 701(a)(2)).

    Justification: On August 14, 2015, as part of the White House Rural 
Council's Rural Child Poverty Initiative, HRSA awarded a program 
expansion supplement to the NCMHI cooperative agreement for the Rural 
IMPACT Project. HRSA and the Administration for Children and Families 
(ACF), each using its own authority, used fiscal year (FY) 2015 funds 
to support a cohort of ten rural and tribal communities to provide two-
generation, bundled services to children and families in need. 
Utilizing the two-generation approach, the communities will promote 
problem solving at the community level by encouraging pediatric 
clinicians' participation and public-private partnership, such as the 
Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Initiative, Project Launch, and 
private sector support for improved collaboration and coordination of 
and access to mental, oral, and physical health and non-clinical 
resources (e.g., home visiting, early care and education settings such 
as child care and Head Start, early intervention, child welfare, 
education) at the community level for children, youth, and their 
families.
    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), working with MCHB, will 
establish an expert workgroup and operational structure to guide the 
initiative; develop and issue a solicitation and scoring process and 
conduct a review of letters of interest to make recommendations for 
participating communities; develop a quality

[[Page 59165]]

improvement package; identify systems-level measures to monitor process 
and progress of individual communities and the initiative as a whole; 
and provide structured technical assistance to the selected 
communities.
    In consultation with MCHB, ACF, and the White House Rural Council, 
the AAP has developed guidance, and solicited for and reviewed letters 
of interest for the cohort of ten rural and tribal communities. 
Communities will be notified of the application outcome in late 
September 2015. For its expert workgroup, AAP has identified and 
invited experts in social service delivery, rural health, and quality 
improvement. A meeting of participating communities and the expert 
workgroup will be held in Washington, DC, in October 2015.
