These grants aim to grow and diversify the workforce by providing scholarships to students pursuing careers in maternal and perinatal health, such as nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives, and clinical nurse specialists. The Act also mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance to states on respectful and culturally congruent maternity care.
