Summary
Early childhood comprehensive systems SEED project: scaling effective early childhood systems development (ECCS seed). HRSA will award 8 grants nationally for up to $875,000 for 5 years. The grant program aims to improve access to high-quality, coordinated care for families from pregnancy through age 5. The program strengthens early childhood systems by identifying family needs early-like mental health support, parenting education, and food and housing assistance-and connecting both children and caregivers to high-quality services. By supporting families during the earliest and most critical years of a child's development, ECCS seed helps prevent chronic disease and supports lifelong health.
