Justification: In FY 2022, under the authority for Special Projects
of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)
(Title V, Sec. 501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act)), HRSA awarded
the ITCP State awards to 12 recipients (HRSA-22-073). This award
included expectations for the recipient to continue and expand
research-based infant-toddler court (ITC) teams to change child welfare
practices and improve the early developmental health and well-being of
infants, toddlers, and their families.
A Congressional Report accompanying the Further Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47), included funding for this
program to ``continue and expand research-based Infant-Toddler Court
Teams to change child welfare practices to improve well-being for
infants, toddlers, and their families'' (Senate Report 118-84). In
addition, the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the FY 2024
appropriations act directed HRSA to ``allocate funding to ensure
continuation of existing grantees, technical assistance, and other
activities.'' In FY 2024, HRSA provided a supplement of $2,700,000 in
SPRANS funding, through its Maternal and Child Health Bureau, to the
ITCP--State Award Program recipients noted in Table 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In addition to the recipients included on Table 1, a FY 2024
supplement was provided to the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health
and Substance Abuse Services (Award Number U2ZMC46641). This
recipient has since relinquished their award and will not receive
supplemental funds in FY 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Congressional Report accompanying the FY 2025 appropriations act
directed HRSA to ``allocate funding to ensure continuation of existing
grantees, technical assistance, and support other expansion
activities'' (House Report 118-585). In response to the Congressional
intent, HRSA provided a supplement of $2,798,847 in SPRANS funding to
the State award recipients in FY 2025 to continue work initiated in
prior years, to improve access to evidence-based child welfare
practices and improve the early developmental health and well-being of
infants, toddlers, and their families.
A Congressional Report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2026 (Pub. L. 119-75) included an additional $2,000,000, for a
total of $20,000,000 in funding ``for research-based Infant-Toddler
Court Teams to change child welfare practices to improve well-being for
infants, toddlers, and their families'' (House Report 119-271). The
Report also included a directive to ``allocate funding to ensure
continuation of existing grantees, technical assistance, and support
other expansion activities'' (House Report 119-271).
Consistent with Congressional intent, HRSA will provide $4,588,810
in FY 2026 in supplemental funding to the recipients outlined in Table
1. This supplement will be used to implement project activities within
the scope of the current ITCP--State Awards funding opportunity (HRSA-
22-073) and to: (1) increase staff capacity through hiring,
consultancy, contracting, or training; (2) increase the reach of the
infant-toddler court approach by increasing caseloads or expanding to
new sites; or (3) address unmet measurement and evaluation needs. These
activities are within scope to change child welfare practices to
improve well-being for infants, toddlers, and their families.

Deputy Administrator.
