under Public Law 104-134 for Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Special 
Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) Continuing

activities.

PURPOSE: To encourage and stimulate development of high quality 
applications. The telephone conference will offer programmatic and 
technical assistance and an overview of the requirements for funding 
projects in both categories. Further, it will provide an opportunity
