Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Training Program: This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) Training Program. By expanding the DBP workforce, children with a wide range of developmental and behavioral concerns will have increased access to evaluation and services that address medical and psychosocial aspects of development. Through this award, programs will: • Prepare DBP fellows and other long-term trainees (LTTs) for leadership roles as teachers, investigators, and clinicians. • Build workforce capacity to evaluate for, diagnose or rule out developmental disabilities (DD), including autism, and other behavioral health concerns. • Prepare trainees to participate in clinical care and research training across the broad range of behavioral and developmental health concerns. • Provide pediatric practitioners, residents, and medical students with essential psychosocial knowledge and clinical expertise. • Provide technical assistance (TA) to strengthen systems of care for children who may have autism/DD and their families. TA recipients may include state Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant agencies and community agencies. Each recipient will accomplish this purpose through five overarching objectives: Objective 1: Recruit and train 10 LTTs, including 5 DBP fellows and 5 other LTTs, over the 5-year period of performance. Objective 2: Conduct one activity per year to address equity and improve access to DBP services. Objective 3: Provide training to a minimum of 200 short- and medium-term trainees per year. Objective 4: Train a minimum of 150 practicing providers through continuing education per year. Objective 5: Provide a minimum of 10 technical assistance (TA) activities per year to strengthen systems of care for children who may have autism/DD and their families.
