SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ACIMM is authorized by section 222 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a), as amended. The Committee
is governed by provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. Chapter 10), as amended.
ACIMM advises the Secretary of Health and Human Services on
department activities, partnerships, policies, and programs directed at
reducing infant mortality, maternal mortality, and severe maternal
morbidity and improving the health status of infants and women before,
during, and after pregnancy. The Committee provides advice on how to
coordinate federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governmental
efforts designed to improve infant mortality; related adverse birth
outcomes; and maternal health; as well as influence similar efforts in
the private and voluntary sectors. The Committee provides guidance and
recommendations on the policies, programs, and resources required to
address the disparities and inequities in infant mortality; related
adverse birth outcomes and maternal health outcomes, including maternal
mortality and severe maternal morbidity. With its focus on underlying
causes of the disparities and inequities seen in birth outcomes for
women and infants, the Committee advises the Secretary of Health and
Human Services on the health, social, economic, and environmental
factors contributing to the inequities and proposes structural, policy,
and/or systems level changes.
The agenda for the January 7-8, 2025, meeting is being finalized
and may include the following topics: federal updates; Committee
operations updates; discussion of draft recommendations for the
Secretary on achieving optimal maternal health and overall birth
outcomes for underserved populations, including Black/African-American
families; and a vote on whether to send the draft recommendations
forward. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
