    Justification: In FY 2022, under the authority for Special Projects 
of Regional and National Significance (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2) (Title V, 
Sec.  501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act)), HRSA awarded funds for 
the ECDHS Program to ZERO TO THREE National Center for Infant, Toddler, 
and Families, Inc. (HRSA-22-091). This award included

expectations for the recipient to provide technical assistance to the 
Transforming Pediatrics in Early Childhood (TPEC) program (HRSA-22-141) 
recipients and a broad range of providers and stakeholders to support 
the integration of early childhood development expertise in pediatric 
care.
    A Congressional Report accompanying the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47) included funding to ``expand 
placements of early childhood development experts in pediatrician 
offices with a high percentage of Medicaid and Children's Health 
Insurance Program patients'' (Senate Report 118-84), which led to the 
funding of four additional TPEC recipients in FY 2024, for a total of 
eight. Consistent with Congressional intent accompanying the FY 2024 
appropriation, HRSA, through its Maternal and Child Health Bureau, will 
provide a supplement of $440,000 in Special Projects of Regional and 
National Significance funding to the ECDHS Program recipient to 
continue their provision of technical assistance to these four 
additional TPEC recipients and for national dissemination of technical 
assistance to support early childhood development integration within 
comprehensive early childhood systems.
    This supplement will improve access to early childhood development 
services that improve health outcomes and prevent the onset of chronic 
illness for families nationwide and will build the capacity of the 
health system to deliver high-quality pediatric services that address 
the holistic needs of children and families.
