SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient(s) of the Award: Up to 20 EHDI grantees of those
listed in Table 1 who demonstrate readiness as articulated in review
criteria on methodology, work plan, and budget to address language
acquisition and other developmental milestones at age 3 for children
identified as DHH.
Amount of Competitive Awards: Up to 20 awards at $75,000 ($1.5
million total).
Project Period: April 1, 2023-March 31, 2024.
Assistance Listing (CFDA) Number: 93.251.
Award Instrument: Supplement.
Authority: Public Health Service Act, Title III, Section 399M(a)
(42 U.S.C. 280g-1(a)).
Purpose/Justification: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023
(Pub. L. 117-328) provided HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau with
an additional $1 million for the EHDI program. The EHDI program
currently funds 59 states and territories to support comprehensive
systems of care so families with newborns, infants, and young children
up to 3 years of age receive appropriate and timely services including
screening, diagnosis, and early intervention. When children are
identified as DHH early and they are provided with timely and
appropriate intervention services, they have better vocabulary
development, expressive language, and social-emotional development than
children identified later. EHDI programs will use this supplemental
support for 1 year to develop the necessary partnerships, assessments,
evaluations, and other activities at the state and local levels to
ensure that all children identified as DHH and their families receive
the services they need to meet language acquisition and other
developmental milestones by age 3. By September 2023, HRSA's Maternal
and Child Health Bureau intends to provide a 1-year supplement for
$75,000 for up to 20 existing grantees.
