Broad Eligibility

Trillium describes this RFA as an NC ROOTS opportunity to implement the I Gave Birth program across participating birthing facilities, hospitals and community partners in Regions 2 and 5. The public landing page does not publish a complete direct-applicant list, so applicants should confirm eligibility in the controlling RFA package.

Atlas Analysis

A strong rural maternal-health and postpartum-safety opportunity because the program is designed to improve recognition of postpartum status and warning signs across birthing hospitals and community care settings. The intervention has a clear quality-improvement and care-coordination use case, and North Carolina's broader I Gave Birth model is intended to reduce preventable maternal complications by improving identification and response after delivery. Atlas scores it highly because it is active, implementation-focused and directly aligned with rural maternal outcomes, while flagging the need to verify exact funding ceilings and applicant restrictions in the RFA package.
