Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 12 056
The Coordinating Grant for Children's Vision Screening aims to enhance public health efforts in providing comprehensive eye care for young children within the healthcare system. The grant focuses on building a robust public health infrastructure that ensures a multi-tiered approach to vision care, emphasizing collaboration, research, and policy initiatives.
Key activities include:
1. **Supporting Pilot State Activities**: The grantee will collaborate with five states—Massachusetts, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, and North Carolina—to develop a unified strategy for universal vision screening by age five. This involves engaging various stakeholders such as healthcare providers, education representatives, and family partners to assess current vision screening practices, identify service gaps, and create a cohesive approach.
2. **Overseeing the National Expert Panel (NEP)**: The NEP, composed of experts in children's eye health, will focus on establishing guidelines for vision screening, developing performance measures, and uniform data collection. The grantee will support the NEP in its advisory role to help states implement these recommendations.
3. **Coordinating the Federal Intra Agency Task Force on Vision**: This task force includes representatives from multiple federal agencies. The grantee will facilitate meetings, coordinate activities, and ensure effective communication among members to align vision health efforts across agencies.
4. **Coordinating Requirements**: The grantee will build on previous initiatives to enhance vision screening for children ages three to five, assessing state capacities to meet national health recommendations. This includes creating a comprehensive map of vision screening needs across states and advocating for insurance support and reimbursement for providers following established guidelines.
Overall, the grant seeks to ensure all young children receive necessary vision screening and care before entering school, promoting long-term eye health through strategic partnerships and informed policymaking.Apply for HRSA 12 056
