Apply for the Improving Maternal Health Through Systems Strengthening Community of Practice (CoP)

The RHNTC invites Title X and TPP grantee agencies to apply to the Improving Maternal Health Through Systems Strengthening Community of Practice (CoP). From February to June 2025, this virtual CoP will examine how sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is an important indicator of maternal health outcomes. Together, participants will explore how SRH providers and adolescent health programs can contribute to system improvements to address maternal morbidity and mortality.

The CoP will encourage participants to partner with a Title V program to identify a new strategy—or strengthen an existing intervention—to improve maternal health. Guided by quality improvement, agency teams will establish a baseline and collect data to monitor their activities towards their identified improvement goal.

A team of subject matter experts—including Dr. Arthur James, MD, FACOG; Mo Sook Park; Sylvia Cheuy; and RHNTC staff—will facilitate CoP sessions, which will be held once per month. Sessions will foster peer learning and participants will gain insight into how a policy, systems, and environment (PSE) framework can be used to facilitate system improvements to address maternal health disparities and drive meaningful change. 

By the end of the CoP, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe how social and structural determinants of health contribute to disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes.
  2. Identify adaptive leadership strategies to mobilize others to tackle tough challenges in complex systems and thrive, let alone survive.
  3. Use the policy, systems, and environment (PSE) framework to identify challenges and solutions across system levels. 
  4. Describe how impact is maximized when community efforts are linked in mutually reinforcing ways. 

The RHNTC will support up to 15 grantee agencies—in teams of up to four staff members per agency—to participate. 

Applications must be submitted by February 3, 2025; only one grantee representative from your agency needs to apply. The RHNTC will notify applicants of a decision by February 12, 2025.
