Objective
To develop and support Family to Family Health Information Centers. The Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (1) assist families of children with disabilities or special health care needs to make informed choices about health care in order to promote good treatment decisions, cost-effectiveness, and improved health outcomes for such children; (2) provide information regarding the health care needs of, and resources available for, such children; (3) identify successful health delivery models for such children; (4) develop with representatives of health care providers, managed care organizations, health care purchasers, and appropriate State agencies, a model for collaboration between families of such children and health professionals; (5) provide training and guidance regarding caring for such children; (6) conduct outreach activities to the families of such children, health professionals, schools, and other appropriate entities and individuals; and (7) are staffed by such families who have expertise in Federal and State public and private health care systems; and by health professionals.
Type of Assistance
B - Project Grants
Applicant Eligibility
Eligible applicants include public and private entities, including an Indian tribe or tribal organization (as those terms are defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b), faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. The law limits the site of eligible organizations to the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Although Tribes and tribal organizations may apply, they must meet all applicable requirements, including targeting of all children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) across the State for services. Applicants must have experience related to the “purpose” of the program, the effort must be family-staffed/run, and the effort must have a focus on health for CYSHCN (as defined by the MCH Bureau). For example, if an applicant is a family organization with a history of funding that is condition-specific or related to education, mental health or developmental disabilities, as with any applicant, evidence of health for the broad CYSHCN population must be evident in their application. Applicants MUST demonstrate that they have EXISTING and effective fiduciary, administrative and management systems. If a different fiduciary agency is needed, such as a university, activities must still be family-staffed/run for the entire grant period.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Projects will benefit (1) public or private agencies, organizations and institutions engaged in activities for CYSHCN; (2) family members and children who receive services through the program; and (3) professionals and trainees who provide services to CYSHCN.
