WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley today said that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded a $554,307 competitive grant to the Iowa Department of Public Health in Des Moines for maternal and child health services.
Each year, thousands of local Iowa organizations, colleges and universities, individuals and state agencies apply for competitive grants and loans from the federal government. The funding is then awarded based on each local organization or individual’s ability to meet criteria set by the federal entity.
