DESCRIPTION: The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), announces that fiscal year (FY) 1995 funds are available for Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Special Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) research grants. Research programs are intended to focus on the development of new knowledge for application in health care promotion and prevention efforts directed at pregnant women, women of childbearing age, infants, children, adolescents, and children with special health care needs and their families. Findings are expected to have potential for application in health care delivery programs for mothers and children. The MHCB places special emphasis on improving service delivery to women and children from racial and ethnic minority populations who have had limited access to care. Special consideration will therefore be given to projects that address the factors and processes that lead to disparities in health status and use of services among minority and other disadvantaged groups as well as health promoting behaviors, quality outcome measures, and systems integration/reform. Proposed project interventions should be responsive to the cultural and linguistic needs of special populations, and should be accessible to consumers.
