SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: One of the stated goals of the Tribal MIECHV
program is to support and strengthen cooperation and coordination, and
promote linkages among various programs that serve pregnant women,
expectant fathers, young children, and families, resulting in the
establishment of coordinated and comprehensive early childhood systems
in grantee communities.
The activities of the four grantees are expected to result in
models for tribal early learning systems that can be replicated in
other tribal communities as well as to expand the reach and impact of
technical assistance activities for the four participating tribal
grantees.
In addition, the supplements will expand the reach and impact of
technical assistance efforts by supporting and strengthening existing
coordination and collaboration activities and expanding the scope of
additional such activities in tribal communities.

511(h)(2)(A) of Title V of the Social Security Act, as added by
Section 2951 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
