HRSA Tweaks the Forms Behind Maternal and Child Health Grants
Published Date: 10/21/2026
Notice
Summary
HRSA is updating how it collects info for maternal and child health grants by changing some form names and removing two forms that are now covered elsewhere. This affects grant applicants and program managers who report data. Public comments are open until November 20, 2026, before final approval, with no new costs involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Estimated total annual reporting burden hours
HRSA estimates the total annualized burden for this information collection at 16,876 hours. The notice's burden table shows individual form burdens (for example, Form 10 totals 5,148 hours and the Project Abstract totals 1,087 hours).
Terminology change to 'medically underserved'
If you are a grantee for Maternal and Child Health Bureau discretionary programs, HRSA will replace the word "underserved" with "medically underserved" on five forms: Engaging Families and Other Individuals (formerly Engagement of Persons With Lived Experience), Training Form 07, Training Form 08, Training Form 09, and Former Long-Term Trainees. This is a wording change across those specific forms in the Discretionary Grant Information System (DGIS).
Two training forms removed and data consolidated
HRSA is eliminating two forms—Training 03 (Healthy Tomorrows) and Training 04 (Maternal and Child Health Training Program)—because their data is now captured through the Partnerships and Collaboration form. If you previously submitted Training 03 or Training 04, you will no longer submit those separate forms; their data collection will be consolidated into the Partnerships and Collaboration form.
