Phase II

HRSA Project Access – Phase II 2007-2010

Project Access is a program sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The purpose of the HRSA program is to improve access to comprehensive, coordinated health care and related services for children and youth with epilepsy residing in medically underserved (MUAs) and rural areas. Funding was awarded for two priority areas: Priority 1 provided state implementation grants to improve access to care for children and youth with epilepsy and seizure disorders through a community-based system of services. Priority 2 funds a cooperative agreement to support a National Center to provide national leadership to the Division of Services for Children with Special Healthcare Needs (DSCSHN) on improving access to comprehensive, coordinated health care and other services for children and youth with epilepsy.
