Bizzell Awarded a Contract to Provide Technical Assistance to HRSA’s Division of Home Visiting and Early Childhood Systems

The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) is pleased to announce that our firm was recently awarded a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract to provide technical assistance to the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) / Division of Home Visiting and Early Childhood Systems (DHVECS).

This contract comes at a critical stage for HRSA, MCHB and DHVECS. The Maternal Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) initiative was designed to improve health and development outcomes at the child and family levels for those at risk, through improvement and coordination of health and related services at the community, State, and Federal levels.

Three years into the MIECHV initiative, the impact of the significant Federal investment is being assessed. Data will be analyzed to assess MIECHV grantee performance and outcomes for families, as well as to assess the impact of the program investment overall. Technical assistance (TA) will be intensified to support struggling grantees.

HRSA’s primary objectives for this task order are to conduct data and impact analyses for the MCHB DHVECS program and provide TA to grantees through comprehensive site visits, intensive performance improvement site visits, and general TA site visits.

“Research has long demonstrated improvements in child and family outcomes for participants in home visiting programs”, according to Anton Bizzell, M.D., CEO for Bizzell. “We are excited to partner with HRSA on this important initiative and look forward to providing the experience, substance, creativity, level of leadership, TA, data analysis, and other support required by HRSA.”

Federal Highway Administration’s “Every Day Counts” Regional Summits

The Bizzell Group (Bizzell) is currently in the midst of a multi-year support contract with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Center for Accelerating Innovation (CAI) project entitled “Every Day Counts” (EDC).

EDC is the FHWA’s initiative to advance a culture of innovation in the highway community in partnership with States. Through this collaborative, State-based effort, FHWA coordinates rapid deployment of proven, market-ready strategies and technologies to shorten the project delivery process, enhance roadway safety, and improve environmental sustainability. The EDC model is built on the premise that through a common vision, partnerships and leadership, the highway community can accelerate the adoption of critical practices; practices that in turn accelerate widespread and consistent deployment of innovative technologies and tools to improve the delivery of projects and performance of the system.

Bizzell is supporting FHWA by implementing EDC Regional Summits in several cities across the U.S. The EDC Regional Summits bring front-line professionals together to discuss EDC innovations, exchange creative ideas with their agency and industry counterparts in their region, and provide feedback to FHWA on the support they need to adopt innovations in their own States. Summits are a proven way to gather people with common interests, experiences and challenges in a productive and innovative environment with the purpose of fostering working relationships to create change.

Key tasks include logistical and multimedia support services, including development of 508-compliant registration sites, graphic design and document development of summit program material and online collateral. During the initial run of the tour, Bizzell is also providing Live Web conferencing/broadcasting services streamed to thousands of viewers.

“This is a fast-paced contract,” Dr. Anton Bizzell, CEO of Bizzell, said in a statement. “The EDC Regional Summits offer an opportunity to provide our Federal partners and stakeholders with innovative ways of providing technology and improved collaboration.”
