“The Maternal and Child Health Bureau Research Consortium Program (MCHB RCP) creates a national group of researchers to study maternal and child health (MCH). In the past, MCHB funded research networks, single investigator innovation studies, and field-initiated research studies. The MCHB RCP merges these programs into one. In FY 2025, this NOFO replaces the Research Network Program; including the Pregnancy-Related Care Research Network (PRCRN) and Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS). MCH RC recipients will develop research-practice partnerships with community organizations, people and families with lived experience, and MCHB programs such as Healthy Start, Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV), and Title V programs. Through these partnerships, you will identify best practices for maximizing the impact of your research. You are expected to focus on one of the following categories.
