*Justification:* The majority of pregnancy-related deaths occur following delivery. Improving health care outside of the labor and delivery setting is an important strategy for reducing pregnancy-related deaths. The planned supplemental award is within the scope of the most recent funding opportunity (HRSA-19-109) program purpose, which aims to: (1) support the development and implementation of non-hospital focused maternal safety bundles within community-based organizations and outpatient clinical settings across the United States and (2) build upon the foundational work of AIM by addressing preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity among pregnant and postpartum women outside of hospital and birthing facility settings.
HRSA will award a non-competitive supplement not to exceed $1.8 million to support the implementation of community-based activities, to include maternal safety bundles and supporting resources, with a focus on hypertension during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Lessons learned from the pilot will be used to strengthen and inform community-based approaches targeting hypertension in pregnant and postpartum people.
