Grant Cycle Information

How Grantees are Selected
Grant recipients are selected by ad hoc peer-reviewed panels convened by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and composed of nationally recognized public and private sector leaders. Panels represent pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, nursing, health policy, educational psychology, social work, and public health. Federal guidelines also require that the panels be balanced with respect to geographic and minority representation. Unfunded applicants will receive a summary of the application's strengths and weaknesses.
