evidence-based CDSME and selfmanagement support programs, and
support the integration and
sustainability of these programs within
community integrated health networks.
They have a comprehensive, interactive
web-based repository (https://ncoa.org/
professionals/health/center-for-healthyaging/national-cdsme-resource-center)
of tools and resources, including—best
practices documents, issue briefs, and
tip sheets based on identified needs and
gaps in the network, CDSME program
and fidelity guidance, educational
learning modules and webinars via
NCOA Connect (an online platform for
learning and sharing among aging
professionals), articles covering topics
from program planning through
sustainability, and videos. NCOA also
hosts special events such as the Older
Adult Mental Health Awareness Day
symposium, the annual Age + Action
Conference (a gathering of grantees,
aging professionals and others with an
interest in aging to share and explore
solutions to ensure equitable aging for
all), facilitates the Evidence-Based
Program Review Process that identifies
and approves new health promotion and
disease programs for implementation
across the network, and they maintain
the national CDSME database that tracks
the delivery and impact of CDSME
programs across the country. They have
reached thousands of consumers and
aging services providers using their
comprehensive database of SUAs,
AAAs, and other CDSME stakeholders.
Additionally, they have worked
diligently to ensure that an inclusive
range of partners are in place, engaged
in the work, and committed to the
success of chronic disease selfmanagement education.
Establishing a separate but parallel
grant project at this time could be
potentially duplicative and disruptive to
the current CDSME-related activities
well under way. More importantly, it
could cause confusion among the Aging
Network and stakeholders, and
negatively impact training,
implementation, communication, and
support opportunities. If this
supplement were not provided, the
project would be unable to address the
significant unmet needs of the Aging
Network to engage more older adults
and adults with disabilities in evidencebased CDSME programs and embed
these programs within communities so
they are available and accessible over
time.

Abstract: The Title V Maternal and
Child Health (MCH) Services Block
Grant to States Program is authorized by
SUMMARY:

Sections 501–509 of Title V of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701–709). HRSA
is updating the Title V Maternal and
Child Health Services Block Grant to
States Program: Guidance and Forms for
the Title V Application/Annual Report.
This Guidance is used annually by the
50 states and nine jurisdictions 1
(hereafter referred to as ‘‘State’’) in
applying for Block Grants under Title V
of the Social Security Act and in
preparing the required Annual Report.
The updates being proposed by HRSA’s
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB) for this edition of the Guidance
continue to support the Federal-State
partnership that is supported by the
Title V MCH Services Block Grant and
the state’s role in developing a 5-Year
Action Plan that addresses its
individual priority needs. These
proposed updates build on and further
refine the reporting structure and vision
that was outlined in the previous
edition. As such, they are intended to
enable a state to articulate a
comprehensive description of its Title V
program activities and its leadership
efforts in advancing and assuring a
public health system that serves the
MCH population. HRSA’s proposed
updates to this edition of the Guidance
were informed by consultation with
State Title V maternal and child health
agencies, and by comments received
from State Title V program leadership,
national Maternal and Child Health
leaders and other stakeholders.
Specific updates to this edition of the
Title V Maternal and Child Health
Services Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report include the
following:
(1) Requirements for narrative
reporting have been adjusted to allow
for streamlined reporting in the four
interim years after the needs
assessment, giving states the flexibility
to update certain sections if they
choose. Reporting for all narrative
sections is required in the year of the
Five-Year Needs Assessment.
(2) The requirements for state and
program capacity narrative reporting
have been reorganized and streamlined
to eliminate duplication.
(3) Expectations around state Title V
reporting on family and community
partnerships have been clarified. These
expectations include enhanced

discussion on program and financial
planning and activities, the impact they
have on the MCH population, and their
value in improving outcomes.
(4) A greater emphasis on health
equity as a guiding principle of the Title
V program is noted. Discussion on this
principle is incorporated in the needs
assessment sections and the state action
plan for each MCH population. States
have the option to identify and set
annual targets for priority populations
under each National Performance
Measure (NPM) and use prepopulated,
stratified data to report annual progress.
(5) Reporting on the state’s
implementation of the Blueprint for
Change: A National Framework for a
System of Services for Children and
Youth with Special Health Care Needs
has been added for the children with
special health care needs (CSHCN)
domain, which includes reporting on
the four critical areas in the Blueprint:
health equity, family and child wellbeing and quality of life, access to
services, and financing of services.
(6) The performance measure
framework has been maintained;
however, the NPMs and National
Outcome Measures (NOMs) have been
updated to reflect salient and emergent
priorities at the state and national
levels. The framework has been updated
to include measure domain types for the
NPMs. All NPMs are categorized by one
of three types: clinical health systems;
health behaviors; and social
determinants of health. Within each
MCH population health domain, there
are at least three NPM options, with at
least one NPM for each measure domain
type. The exception is for CSHCN,
where there is a greater focus on the
need to improve clinical health systems.
(7) Two NPMs are identified as
Universal NPMs that every state is
required to address and report on in its
Title V MCH Block Grant Application/
Annual Report. The Universal NPMs
serve to accelerate progress on priority
areas with a focus on access and quality
of primary and preventive care. The two
Universal NPMs are: (1) NPM 1Postpartum Visit in the Women/
Maternal Health domain and (2) NPM
17-Medical Home in the Child Health
and CSHCN domains. A state must
report on a minimum of five NPMs,
which includes the two Universal
NPMs, with at least one NPM for each
of the five MCH population domains.
States have the flexibility to select as
many NPMs and State Performance
Measures (SPMs) as necessary to
address each of its priority needs
including the other NPMs within the
Women/Maternal Health and CSHCN
domains. There is no maximum for the
number of NPMs that a state can select.
(8) A new set of Standardized
Measures are available to select as
SPMs. Similar to NOMs and NPMs,
annual performance data for these SPMs
will be prepopulated by MCHB from
national data sources, if available, and
provided to the states for their use.
States will be able to target priority
populations for MCH outcomes. The
Standardized Measures set contains
measures that were NPMs in the
previous Guidance as well as former
NOMs that function better as
performance measures.
(9) A new form, Form 7: Title V
Program Workforce, has been added to
quantify the Title V-funded positions in
the state. This form will be required
only in the year of the Five-Year Needs
Assessment, and these data will help
assist technical assistance efforts to
support workforce development.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Each year, all states are
required to submit an Application/
Annual Report for Federal funds for
their Title V MCH Services Block Grant
to States Program to HRSA’s MCHB
(sections 505(a) and 506(a)(1) of Title V
of the Social Security Act). In addition,
the state MCH Services Block Grant
programs are required to conduct a
state-wide, comprehensive needs
assessment every five years. The
information and instructions for the
preparation and submission of this
Application/Annual Report are
contained in the Title V MCH Services
Block Grant to States Program:
Guidance and Forms for the Title V
Application/Annual Report.
Likely Respondents: Likely
respondents are state MCH agencies and
other MCH stakeholders.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This estimate includes the
time needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to

Abstract: The Public Health Service
Act and the American Rescue Plan Act
of 2021 authorized three programs
administered by HRSA: (1) the Health
and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency
Training Program (the Training

Program); (2) the Promoting Resilience
and Mental Health among Health
Professional Workforce Program (the
Workforce Program); and (3) the Health
and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency
Technical Assistance Center (the
Technical Assistance Center). The
Training Program funds resilience
training activities for the health
workforce in rural and underserved
communities. The Workforce Program
supports organizations’ programs or
protocols that foster resilience and
wellness among the health workforce in
these communities. The Technical
Assistance Center provides tailored
training and technical assistance to
Training Program and Workforce
Program awardees. The purpose of the
planned evaluation is to assess the three
programs with respect to their goals of
promoting resiliency and mental health
in the health workforce. Data collection
efforts will inform HRSA leadership
about the progress, costs and benefits,
and impact of these efforts to support
the delivery of health care in the United
States.
Methods of Collection
Quantitative and qualitative deidentified data will be collected from
awardees and their health care
workforce. Each instrument will be
administered twice over the 4-year
evaluation period; once mid-way
through the project period and once
after the project period has ended. There
will also be a one-time comparison
group survey. To achieve the evaluation,
the study will use the following
quantitative data collection instruments:
The Healthcare Workforce Survey is a
web-based survey intended to collect
data on the impact and implementation
of the Training Program and the
Workforce Program from individuals in
both programs’ target populations.
Respondents will only be asked
questions that are relevant to their
experience. The Healthcare Workforce
Survey includes questions about before
and after program participation to assess
self-reported change.
The Fielding Tracker is an Excelbased tool that Workforce Program and
Training Program awardees will help
populate with information on how they
distributed the Healthcare Workforce
Survey (e.g., type and frequency of
email communications sent to the target
populations of grant-funded activities,
number of individuals emailed, number
of undeliverable emails received, and
demographic information). It will also
gather aggregated demographic
information on the target population
required for a non-response bias

analysis (this information is not
reported to HRSA elsewhere).
The Awardee Training and Services
Report is an Excel-based tool that will
be used to clarify how evaluators can
refer to each activity Training Program
and the Workforce Program grantees
implemented on the Healthcare
Workforce Survey so that respondents
will recognize the activities. The
Awardee Training and Services Report
will also request key descriptive
information for each activity. Each
report will include pre-populated
activities or training programs that have
been reported to HRSA to reduce
burden on the Training Program and
Workforce Program awardees, while
confirming, revising, or adding details,
as needed.
The Health and Public Safety
Workforce Resiliency Training Program
Comparison Group Survey is a webbased survey intended to assess key
outcomes among those in the health
workforce who did not have access to
Training Program-funded activities. A
third-party vendor will provide the
health workforce sample. Eligibility for
this survey will be assessed using a brief
web-based Screener. The purpose of the
screener is to identify respondents with
similar characteristics as the Training
Program participants.
The Awardee Survey about the
Technical Assistance Center is a webbased survey intended to assess the
Training Program and the Workforce
Program awardees’ experiences with
and perceptions of the impact from
technical assistance provided by the
Technical Assistance Center. In
addition, the Awardee Survey is
designed to gather details about program
implementation to inform future
programming.
The Awardee Cost Workbook is an
Excel-based tool that will be used to
conduct a cost-benefit analysis. It will
be pre-populated with existing data for
the Training Program and the Workforce
Program awardees to verify and update
as needed. Workforce Program awardees
are expected to have lower response
burden because they are required to
report staff turnover rates through
annual reporting; the Training Program
awardees are not.
The Awardee Interview Guide and
Organizational Assessment Interview
Protocol are qualitative data collection
instruments the evaluation team will
use as semi-structured interview guides
to understand the awardees’
perspectives on challenges, lessons
learned, and organizational change. The
Organizational Assessment interviews
will be conducted with the Workforce
Program awardees, given the grant

Information Collection Request Title: Title V Maternal and Child
Health Services Block Grant to States Program: Guidance and Forms for
the Title V Application/Annual Report, OMB No. 0915-0172--Revision.
Abstract: The Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services
Block Grant to States Program is authorized by Sections 501-509 of
Title V of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701-709). HRSA is
updating the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to
States Program: Guidance and Forms for the Title V Application/Annual
Report. This Guidance is used annually by the 50 states and nine
jurisdictions \1\ (hereafter referred to as ``State'') in applying for
Block Grants under Title V of the Social Security Act and in preparing
the required Annual Report. The updates being proposed by HRSA's
Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) for this edition of the
Guidance continue to support the Federal-State partnership that is
supported by the Title V MCH Services Block Grant and the state's role
in developing a 5-Year Action Plan that addresses its individual
priority needs. These proposed updates build on and further refine the
reporting structure and vision that was outlined in the previous
edition. As such, they are intended to enable a state to articulate a
comprehensive description of its Title V program activities and its
leadership efforts in advancing and assuring a public health system
that serves the MCH population. HRSA's proposed updates to this edition
of the Guidance were informed by consultation with State Title V
maternal and child health agencies, and by comments received from State
Title V program leadership, national Maternal and Child Health leaders
and other stakeholders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The following nine jurisdictions receive Title V Maternal
and Child Health Block Grant Program funding: the District of
Columbia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States
of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific updates to this edition of the Title V Maternal and Child
Health Services Block Grant to States Program: Guidance and Forms for
the Title V Application/Annual Report include the following:
(1) Requirements for narrative reporting have been adjusted to
allow for streamlined reporting in the four interim years after the
needs assessment, giving states the flexibility to update certain
sections if they choose. Reporting for all narrative sections is
required in the year of the Five-Year Needs Assessment.
(2) The requirements for state and program capacity narrative
reporting have been reorganized and streamlined to eliminate
duplication.
(3) Expectations around state Title V reporting on family and
community partnerships have been clarified. These expectations include
enhanced
[[Page 29136]]
discussion on program and financial planning and activities, the impact
they have on the MCH population, and their value in improving outcomes.
(4) A greater emphasis on health equity as a guiding principle of
the Title V program is noted. Discussion on this principle is
incorporated in the needs assessment sections and the state action plan
for each MCH population. States have the option to identify and set
annual targets for priority populations under each National Performance
Measure (NPM) and use prepopulated, stratified data to report annual
progress.
(5) Reporting on the state's implementation of the Blueprint for
Change: A National Framework for a System of Services for Children and
Youth with Special Health Care Needs has been added for the children
with special health care needs (CSHCN) domain, which includes reporting
on the four critical areas in the Blueprint: health equity, family and
child well-being and quality of life, access to services, and financing
of services.
(6) The performance measure framework has been maintained; however,
the NPMs and National Outcome Measures (NOMs) have been updated to
reflect salient and emergent priorities at the state and national
levels. The framework has been updated to include measure domain types
for the NPMs. All NPMs are categorized by one of three types: clinical
health systems; health behaviors; and social determinants of health.
Within each MCH population health domain, there are at least three NPM
options, with at least one NPM for each measure domain type. The
exception is for CSHCN, where there is a greater focus on the need to
improve clinical health systems.
(7) Two NPMs are identified as Universal NPMs that every state is
required to address and report on in its Title V MCH Block Grant
Application/Annual Report. The Universal NPMs serve to accelerate
progress on priority areas with a focus on access and quality of
primary and preventive care. The two Universal NPMs are: (1) NPM 1-
Postpartum Visit in the Women/Maternal Health domain and (2) NPM 17-
Medical Home in the Child Health and CSHCN domains. A state must report
on a minimum of five NPMs, which includes the two Universal NPMs, with
at least one NPM for each of the five MCH population domains. States
have the flexibility to select as many NPMs and State Performance
Measures (SPMs) as necessary to address each of its priority needs
including the other NPMs within the Women/Maternal Health and CSHCN
domains. There is no maximum for the number of NPMs that a state can
select.
(8) A new set of Standardized Measures are available to select as
SPMs. Similar to NOMs and NPMs, annual performance data for these SPMs
will be prepopulated by MCHB from national data sources, if available,
and provided to the states for their use. States will be able to target
priority populations for MCH outcomes. The Standardized Measures set
contains measures that were NPMs in the previous Guidance as well as
former NOMs that function better as performance measures.
(9) A new form, Form 7: Title V Program Workforce, has been added
to quantify the Title V-funded positions in the state. This form will
be required only in the year of the Five-Year Needs Assessment, and
these data will help assist technical assistance efforts to support
workforce development.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Each year, all states are
required to submit an Application/Annual Report for Federal funds for
their Title V MCH Services Block Grant to States Program to HRSA's MCHB
(sections 505(a) and 506(a)(1) of Title V of the Social Security Act).
In addition, the state MCH Services Block Grant programs are required
to conduct a state-wide, comprehensive needs assessment every five
years. The information and instructions for the preparation and
submission of this Application/Annual Report are contained in the Title
V MCH Services Block Grant to States Program: Guidance and Forms for
the Title V Application/Annual Report.
Likely Respondents: Likely respondents are state MCH agencies and
other MCH stakeholders.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This estimate includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
