Justification: The project, Linking the Boston Birth Cohort and
Pregnancy to Early Life Longitudinal Data System and Community-Level
Health Databases: A Longitudinal Cohort of Mother-Child Dyads, will
create a dataset with a broad array of data on biological, socio-
economic, home and neighborhood environment, behavioral risk and
protective factors, health services and expenses across the
developmental and life stages. In addition, this project intends to
make this novel dataset shareable to other researchers.
This supplement will support testing the dataset, its user-
friendliness, and the sharing process.
The MH-RC-MSI CC is uniquely qualified to test and validate the
data linkage and sharing process through use cases and research studies
because:
<bullet> They have the current infrastructure and connections with
16 HRSA funded MH-RC-MSI Research Centers to ensure coordinated testing
and validation;
<bullet> They support numerous early-stage investigators through a
mentorship program who can use the dataset to conduct research projects
on maternal health; and
<bullet> They have a record of successfully managing HRSA's
Maternal and Child Health Bureau-funded projects that examine a broad
range of adverse maternal health outcomes since 2023 and have
consistently met goals and objectives.
These data linkage activities run from September 2025 to July 2027,
during years 3 through 4 of the 5-year Minority-Serving Institutions
project period. Not making the award would preclude testing of the data
linkage as described in the project proposal.

Administrator.
