MCHB’s Division of Children with Special Health Needs and the Genetic Services Branch are currently undergoing a strategic planning process.

Justification for the Exception to Competition Since the inception of HRSA’s genetic services program, the landscape of our health care system has changed dramatically. In addition, our knowledge base for genetic medicine in general and blood disorders in particular has expanded. Unfortunately, the changes in our knowledge base and standards of care are not currently reflected in what we measure through this program nor how they are integrated into day to day activities that influence the health of individuals with hemophilia, thrombophilia and von Willebrand Disease and other congenital bleeding disorders. To better reflect the current landscape, the MCHB is undertaking a strategic planning process this year. At the end of the process, we hope to have better defined measures that will reflect our new plan and the goals for the next 10 years. This will provide us with the basis to expand the applicant pool as VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 Apr 15, 2011 Jkt 223001 well as improve the evidence base for the utility of the National Hemophilia Program. MCHB proposes this course of action for three reasons: (1) To appropriately respond to the directions that will be outlined after the strategic planning process, (2) to provide for sufficient fiscal resource to continue programmatic activities at current levels, and (3) to maintain MCH programmatic support with the least disruption to the State, community, and MCH constituencies who are currently receiving assistance and services from these grantees and the grantees themselves. Without this approach, the programmatic changes indicated through the strategic planning process will not be outlined nor implemented for another 3 years when the next competitive process will begin. Delaying the competition into mid fiscal year 2011 ensures continuity of funding for all eligible entities, with no eligible entity being harmed by the extension.
