Background
Maternal mortality and morbidity are key indicators of the health status and care received by individuals before, during, and after a pregnancy. In addition to there being room for improvement in maternal health outcomes overall in Wisconsin, there are stark maternal mortality and morbidity inequities that need to be addressed. Although the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and its partners have started to address these inequities, the State Maternal Health Innovation (MHI) Program provides an opportunity to convene diverse partners to move maternal health forward in the state. More details are in the announcement attachment.

Funding Availability
Grant funding is expressly dependent upon the availability of funds to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) from the State Maternal Health Innovation Program. Applicant will be awarded based on available funding, program priorities, capacity, and ability to meet application criteria. More details are in the announcement attachment.
