Description: This announcement solicits applications from accredited schools of public health for the Maternal and Child Health Public Health Catalyst Program (Catalyst Program). The purpose of the Catalyst Program is to: 1) provide an increased focus on fundamental MCH content and competencies within schools of public health where no concentration currently exists, and 2) provide MCH content exposure to an increased number of public health students, introducing students to careers in the maternal and child health field. The grantees will recruit graduate students who are from underrepresented backgrounds (including racial and ethnic minorities), who are also underrepresented in the maternal and child health field.
