(CSHCN) and their families. Strategies
may include: (1) Family-centered care,
(2) cultural and linguistic competence,
and (3) shared decision-making for
families of CSHCN at all levels of
decision-making (individual, peer,
community, etc.). Family/Professional
Partnership program activities are
primarily carried out through federal
leadership strategies, the NCFPP
cooperative agreement and state
implementation grants in the form of
Family-to-Family Health Information
Centers. The purpose of this notice is to
award supplemental funds to coordinate
among leadership trainings for families
partnering on state and national level
system and service improvements by
Family Voices, the cooperative
agreement awardee who serves as the
NCFPP, during the budget period of 6/
1/2015– 5/31/2016.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award:
Family Voices, Inc.
Amount of the Non-Competitive
Award: $118,700.
Period of Supplemental Funding: 6/1/
2015–5/31/2016.
CFDA Number: 93.110.
Authority: Social Security Act, Title
V, Section 501(a)(1)(D), (42 U.S.C.
701(a)(1)(D)).
Justification
The Institute of Medicine Report
Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New
Health System for the 21st Century
established shared decision-making and
patient/family centered care as key
elements of a quality health care system.
National quality indicators of family/
professional partnership, shareddecision-making, and patient/familycentered care show that children (and
youth) with special health care needs
(CSHCN) benefit from family/patientcentered care by improved transition
from pediatric to adult health care
systems, fewer unmet needs and fewer
problems accessing needed referrals.
Several MCHB programs rely on
families as key partners in the
improvement of overall systems and
services, based on their personal
experiences and their work with other
families. There is a need for
coordination among leadership
trainings, including ongoing mentoring
and technical assistance, for families
partnering on state and national level
system and service improvements.
Meeting these needs would support a
sustainable approach to leadership
development that can be maintained by
both individuals and organizations,
linking together key MCHB investments
by supporting State Title V agencies.

The purpose of the NCFPP

Family-centered care, (2) cultural and

decision-making for families of CSHCN
at all levels of decision-making
(individual, peer, community, etc.).
Family/Professional Partnership
program activities are primarily carried
out through federal leadership
strategies, the NCFPP cooperative
agreement and state implementation
grants in the form of Family-to-Family
Health Information Centers. In 2013,
following objective review of its
application, HRSA awarded Family
Voices cooperative agreement funding
for the NCFPP. If approved, this would
be the first project expansion
supplement for this project.
For over two decades Family Voices
has brought the voice of families of
CSHCN to the healthcare arena and
demonstrated the value of family
perspectives in shaping healthcare
systems and services to maximize
outcomes for families and their
children. Its infrastructure is based on a
network of family-led organizations at
the national, state, and local levels
including the Family-to-Family Health
Information Centers and Family Voices
State Affiliate Organizations. It
facilitates the work of a community of
family leaders through peer mentoring,
training, and technical assistance. It
partners with key MCHB programs and
stakeholders including State Title V
agencies.
Results were recently released from a
survey of state Title V organizations’
progress in engaging families and
consumers. From this information,
Family Voices recognized a need for
ongoing development of a continually
renewed pipeline of family leaders from
diverse racial and cultural communities
and from populations served across all
MCHB programs. Thus, they submitted
a proposal requesting to supplement the
NCFPP cooperative agreement with
activities to meet this need.
The proposed project aligns with
NCFPP’s current project plan in its
efforts to increase the capacity of
families, Title V and other providers to
strengthen the primary care workforce
through family/professional partnership
learning opportunities (Goal 2). Family
Voices, working with MCHB, would
coordinate with other MCHB-funded
initiatives to identify needs and develop
a framework for an evidence-based/
informed family leadership training
aimed at supporting family leaders

participating at state and national levels.
To support this primary activity, it
would also develop an inventory of
current resources related to family
leadership development, create a
National Family and Youth Leadership
Team, and provide technical support
and assistance to family leaders to
ensure they have the ongoing capacity
to participate in community, state, and
national systems change.

The Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program is
authorized by the Social Security Act,
Title V, Part D, Section 511(h)(3) (42
U.S.C. 711(h)(3)).
The Home Visiting Research Network

funding of the approved Federal direct
cost budget authorized for the current
budget period to Johns Hopkins
University for the Home Visiting
Research Network (HVRN) for the
purpose of continuing the HVRN for an
additional year.
The current HVRN recipient
continues to achieve the original goals
required by HRSA and an additional
award year will further accelerate the
project to build on its national
leadership in the field of home visiting
research, seamlessly continue its
cultivation of new funders to support
new network translational and practicebased research, and capitalize on the
increasing visibility of MIECHV which
engages more communities,
stakeholders and investors.
Not only will this additional year
allow for uninterrupted growth of the
network activities, but also this
additional time will also allow HRSA to
better align future HVRN funding
opportunity announcements with
current home visiting research needs
based on the outcomes of the FY 2014
performance improvement assessment
and benchmark improvement needs.
