The HRSA/MCHB is offering this grant to establish Regional Collaboratives that will expand and improve newborn screening and genetic services for heritable disorders. This grant is for translating genomic medicine into healthcare delivery and strengthening states’ capacity to provide genomic services to the public. A key purpose is to use a regional approach to address genetic resource maldistribution, reducing disparities among diverse socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and rural groups. Strategies for underserved populations include collaboration with other HRSA/MCHB initiatives, community-based services, medical home implementation, and support for youth transition and health insurance.
