Thank you for taking the time to review and select the maternal child health objective(s) your agency will implement in 2026. We are grateful for the work you do every day to promote maternal and child health throughout the state and are looking forward to reviewing what your agency will be focusing on this upcoming year.
MCH objective supplement instructions:
-
Local and Tribal health agencies should complete one Maternal Child Health (MCH) objective supplement for each objective you select by October 31st, 2025.
-
Answer each question thoroughly with specific examples from your agency’s work. For example, include county or Tribal specific data that supports your selection, describe current efforts and partnerships, and include any coalition work your agency is part of. If your agency has selected this objective in the past, share how you will continue progressing your work.
-
Do not copy and paste core activities. We want to hear how your agency will accomplish these activities.
-
Please review the 2026 MCH Objectives found on the Grants and Contracts (GAC) System webpage before you begin filling out the MCH objective supplement survey. Once you start the survey it should be completed in its entirety. If you accidentally submit or exit the survey before you are finished, please reach out to your MCH contract administrator.
-
Agencies will also need to complete a 2026 Title V MCH Budget and submit to their MCH contract administrator to complete contract negotiations. GAC will not be used to select objectives in 2026.
