We are thrilled to announce that RIVA has been awarded two task orders under the $76M Financial Management Portfolio (FMP) BPA with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Program Support Center 🎉 These projects will play a key role in transforming financial reporting and grants management systems within HHS, advancing transparency, efficiency, and compliance with federal regulations. ✨ Highlights of our work include: Developing centralized financial reporting capabilities for the ACF Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program, streamlining grantee submissions through the Payment Management System (PMS). Creating web services for real-time data synchronization across HHS's Grants Management, Financial, and Payment Systems, aligning with the GREAT Act standards. This work not only improves data integrity and reporting accuracy but also reduces redundancies and minimizes manual intervention—allowing HHS to focus more on the programs that serve communities nationwide.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has provided funding to three key organizations to create a Data Modernization Implementation Center Program to help advance the data modernization efforts at the state, local, tribal and territorial public health agencies. In particular, it will provide support for the adoption of consistent information technology standards for data exchange between the public health and health care sectors. The three organizations have long provided remarkable public health leadership. They are Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, National Network of Public Health Institutes and Public Health Accreditation Board. This support is necessary because it is challenging for overworked and chronically underfunded public health agencies to make the changes necessary for state-of-the-art data systems. Bravo to CDC and the 3 organizations for providing this assistance. Jennifer Layden Joseph Kanter, MD, MPH Vincent Lafronza Paul Kuehnert ICF
