THE ALLIANCE FOR INFORMATION ON MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH
The Alliance for Information on Maternal and Child Health (AIM) is a Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) collaborative of national membership organizations and the MCHB. Its members include decision makers within state and local government, maternal and child health (MCH) professions, philanthropy, the health insurance industry, and business, as well as advocates for children and families.
The purpose of the AIM collaborative is to help members of these organizations make well-informed decisions affecting public health policies and programs for women, children and families.
The AIM collaborative primarily includes grantees under two MCHB programs:
(a) Partnerships to Promote Maternal and Child Health (PPMCH), comprised of organizations whose members are focused on MCH; and
(b) Improving Understanding of Maternal and Child Health (IUMCH), including organizations whose members who have decision-making responsibility for MCH as one of many areas of concern.
Beyond the value of these grant programs individually, there is added
value to convening grantees from both groups together. The collaborative
they form provides opportunities for these organizations, with very
different perspectives, to share expertise and concerns, to forge
partnerships, and to educate one another and the MCHB about promising
practices in MCH as well as emerging MCH issues across the Nation.
These 16 grantees are listed below. The MCHB is the 17th and equal
AIM partner.
