MCHB Discretionary Grant Information System (DGIS)
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau's (MCHB) Discretionary Grant Information System (DGIS) collects program and performance measure data for more than 900 grants annually. These data help MCHB assess the effectiveness of its programs and help project officers monitor the progress made under these grants. MCHB discretionary grants help to ensure that quality health care is available to the maternal and child health (MCH) population, which includes all of the nation's women, infants, children, adolescents, and their families, including fathers and children with special health care needs.
