Justification: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, included
additional funds that are being used to support ITCs. HRSA understands
guidance provided in House Report 117-403 to support the award of
additional funds for the NRC to provide implementation support and
subject matter expertise to ITC teams and to advance national-level
reach and impact of the program, including via subaward funds to local
ITC teams who previously received financial support and technical
assistance under HRSA-18-123, which was in place in 2022. Both of these
objectives will be accomplished through a supplement to the NRC.
The planned supplemental award to the ITCP NRC aligns with the most
recent funding opportunity (HRSA-22-074) and program purpose outlined
in the NOFO, which is ``to continue and expand research-based infant-
toddler court teams to change child welfare practices and improve the
early developmental health and well-being of infants, toddlers, and
their families,'' with primary goals to (1) build the capacity of
state/territorial/tribal and local teams to implement the ITC approach
and lead aligned community-driven efforts to prevent and respond to
child maltreatment; and (2) advance the evidence and national reach,
impact, and sustainability of the ITC approach. Additional expectations
of the NRC in HRSA-22-074 include that it will ``lead and coordinate
improvements nationwide to policy and practice in child welfare and
early childhood systems'' and ``provide a range of tailored supports to
states and local sites that implement the ITC approach'' that ``build
upon previously-funded ITCP efforts'' (e.g., funding awards under HRSA-
18-123). Additionally, under the NOFO, the NRC advances the objective
of increasing the spread, scale, and coordination of local ITC sites
across States, Territories, jurisdictions, and Tribal nations.
HRSA will award approximately $1.91 million to the current ITCP NRC
recipient. This funding will enhance resource development, provision of
subject matter expertise, the building of capacity to implement the ITC
approach, further develop national-level partnerships, and provide
subawards to local court teams that were previously funded under HRSA-
18-123 (but not under HRSA-22-074/073), which will advance the national
reach, impact, and sustainability of ITC teams. In addition, HRSA will
provide a supplement of approximately $650,000 to enable

subawards to local ITC sites with high need and capacity to provide
Medicaid redetermination navigation support to families. It will
support core objectives related to timely service access and program
expectations in the NOFO.
