Rockville, Md. – Working closely with the leadership and staff of the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) $1.3 billion Title V, Abt Associates will help the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) finalize and operationalize its 15-year strategic plan while improving health equity. The award of this new task order is Abt’s latest avenue for strengthening the lives of women, children, and families.

Abt will coordinate with other federal agencies, develop the implementation plan, and identify the metrics to be used to measure progress. The $1.1 million contract spans two years.
