Grant Exception Lets Morgan State Start
Morgan State University is the recipient of the Maternal Health Research Collaborative for Minority-Serving Institutions Coordinating Center (MH-RC-MSI CC) grant, funded by the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund. Morgan State does not need to submit special documentation to establish eligibility and can begin testing the data linkage now; the notice says that without this exception Morgan State would not have the funds to test the data linkage.
Data Linkage Builds Maternal-Child Research
The funded project is a multi-agency data linkage effort to build data capacity for maternal and child health research focused on Minority-Serving Institutions. You (parents or guardians) may benefit indirectly because the project aims to connect health data about mothers and children to support research on maternal health.
