Limited Submissions

This announcement solicits applications for the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Interdisciplinary Education in Pediatric Pulmonary Centers (PPCs).  The purpose of the PPC program is to improve the health status of infants, children, and youth with chronic respiratory conditions.  PPCs achieve this objective by addressing four (4) aims: 1)      Providing interdisciplinary leadership training at the graduate and post-graduate levels in five (5) core disciplines of pediatric pulmonary medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition, and family leadership.  PPCs serve as models of excellence in interdisciplinary training, systems integration, and research related to chronic respiratory conditions in infants, children, and youth; 2)      Engaging with families as full partners to support family-centered practice, policies, and research; 3)      Impacting policies and practices at the regional and national levels, including working with state and local health agencies and providers through a public health/population-based approach.  PPCs provide a critical link in assuring that the next generation of health care providers contribute to MCHB's mission to assure access to care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCNs) through systems improvement; and 4)      Supporting diverse trainees and faculty, and cultural and linguistic competence approaches, to address health disparities related to chronic respiratory conditions.
