*Justification:* In fiscal year 2024, the Office of the Secretary's Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund, administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, will support a supplement to the HRSA-funded ALDP to create a longitudinal dataset for conducting patient-centered maternal and infant health research by linking multiple databases. Through this supplement, ALDP will develop a dataset on maternal and infant biological, socio-economic, behavioral risk and protective factors, and health services indicators. The ALDP current recipient is uniquely qualified to conduct this work because it has:
• A long-standing record of successfully completing government-funded projects.
• Led and managed the BBC since its inception in 1998.
• Deep experience in the complexities of data sharing across institutions and the technical aspects of linking data.
• Access to and adherence to protections for restricted datasets.
