| Grant number | Award recipient name | City, state | FY23 supplement award amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK2MC46349 | Zero to Three National Center for Infant, Toddler, and Families, Inc. | Washington, DC | $1,000,000 |
Justification: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L.117-328) and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47) made available additional funding beyond the original FY 2022 enacted level to "expand placements of early childhood development experts in pediatrician offices with a high percentage of Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program patients" (per Senate Report 118-84). To implement this increase, HRSA funds an additional four Transforming Pediatrics for Early Childhood (TPEC) recipients beyond the original four (for a total of eight) and will continue to provide a supplement of $600,000 to the current ECDHS recipient to provide technical assistance to these additional TPEC recipients and support national ECD integration in pediatric care.
The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, also provided funding to HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care to support health centers, including "to further integrate early childhood development services and expertise" (as described in Senate Report 118-84). To implement this funding, HRSA will provide an additional supplement of $400,000 to the ECDHS recipient to continue their current technical assistance support, which began in FY 2023, to HRSA funded Health Centers expanding their early childhood development services with funds awarded under HRSA-23-028.
Supplemental funding for similar activities may be considered in future years, depending on the availability of funding for the activity and satisfactory performance.

Administrator.
