SUMMARY:
HRSA will provide supplemental award funds for up to 20 Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program recipients of $75,000 each with a period of performance of 12 months to develop the necessary partnerships, assessments, evaluations, and other activities at the state and local levels to ensure that all children identified as deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and their families receive the services they need to meet language acquisition and other developmental milestones by age 3.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dana Simms, Project Officer, dsimms@hrsa.gov or 301-443-1623.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient(s) of the Award: Up to 20 EHDI grantees of those listed in Table 1 who demonstrate readiness as articulated in review criteria on methodology, work plan, and budget to address language acquisition and other developmental milestones at age 3 for children identified as DHH.
Amount of Competitive Awards: Up to 20 awards at $75,000 ($1.5 million total).
Project Period: April 1, 2023-March 31, 2024.
Assistance Listing (CFDA) Number: 93.251.
Award Instrument: Supplement.
Authority: Public Health Service Act, Title III, Section 399M(a) (42 U.S.C. 280g-1(a)).
Purpose/Justification: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328) provided HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau with an additional $1 million for the EHDI program. The EHDI program currently funds 59 states and territories to support comprehensive systems of care so families with newborns, infants, and young children up to 3 years of age receive appropriate and timely services including screening, diagnosis, and early intervention. When children are identified as DHH early and they are provided with timely and appropriate intervention services, they have better vocabulary development, expressive language, and social-emotional development than children identified later. EHDI programs will use this supplemental support for 1 year to develop the necessary partnerships, assessments, evaluations, and other activities at the state and local levels to ensure that all children identified as DHH and their families receive the services they need to meet language acquisition and other developmental milestones by age 3. By September 2023, HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau intends to provide a 1-year supplement for $75,000 for up to 20 existing grantees.
