Notice
Summary
Morgan State University is leading a new project to connect important health data about moms and kids, especially in minority communities. This effort, funded by the government, helps researchers learn more about maternal health and improve care. The project is already funded, so Morgan State can start without extra paperwork, making progress faster and smarter.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
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.
