The National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program

Over the years, HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have worked together as partners to refine and promote the FIMR process by funding demonstration projects, providing training and technical assistance, and developing the NFIMR resource center. The March of Dimes, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Carnation Company, and ACOG's District IV have also assisted in supporting the development of the FIMR process.

The NFIMR resource center can provide technical assistance in many aspects of developing and carrying out a FIMR program. The resource center can help a start-up FIMR and can assist sophisticated, well-established programs to fine-tune specific aspects of the process. It links programs with peers who can share insights and strategies. NFIMR works with states to explore methods to manage multiple reviews and to identify models that integrate local FIMR recommendations into regional or statewide assessments.
