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.

    Statutory Authority: Awards are supported by section 
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, 
Public Law 111-148, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
