Description
This announcement solicits applications for two (2) separate funding opportunities, MIECHV Innovation Award – General Data/Technology Innovations (Track One) HRSA-22-089 and ARP Act MIECHV Innovation Award – COVID-19-Related Data/Technology Innovations (Track Two) HRSA-22-102. The purpose of these awards is to fund the development, implementation, and evaluation of innovations by MIECHV recipients that leverage new technology and/or data collection and sharing strategies to improve MIECHV service delivery, and extend the impact of MIECHV-funded voluntary early childhood home visiting services. Such innovations must be consistent with the service delivery model(s) being implemented by the awardee. The MIECHV Innovation Awards aim to address HRSA and HHS goals of achieving health equity and advancing population health. Innovations may also respond to the evolving and long-term impact of the COVID-19 public health emergency, or foster a workforce capable of addressing current and emerging needs of communities that historically face structural racisim and discrimination resulting in barriers to accessing resources they need to thrive. Track One aims to leverage data- and technology-driven innovations in the key priority areas identified below to improve MIECHV service delivery consistent with the service delivery model(s) being implemented by the awardee. Track Two aims to leverage data- and technology-driven innovations in the key priority areas identified below to improve MIECHV service delivery, including virtual service delivery, in order to address the impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency, consistent with the service delivery model(s) being implemented by the awardee. For the purpose of this NOFO, an innovation is defined as a process, product, strategy, or practice that improves (or is expected based on evidence of promise or strong theory1 to improve) upon the outcomes reached with current or status quo service delivery implementation and that can ultimately reach widespread effective usage. You are strongly encouraged to propose only one innovation, which may consist of multiple strategies and activities (see below for examples of potential innovations). You may propose to improve, expand, or advance innovations that are currently being developed or implemented through MIECHV programs. MIECHV recipients are already considering how data and technology can advance their programs, and the COVID-19 public health emergency has required recipients to pivot quickly towards new modes of service delivery. These awards aim to build on these advances and innovative strategies.
