How is the HBDP funded and is it beholden to any funder?
Since 1988, public and private sector contract and grant funding has been secured from a variety of sources including the State of Hawaii Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Birth Defects Special Fund, Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, Ronald McDonald Childrens’ Charities, DOH Neighbor Island Project, State Systems Development Initiative Program, Department of the Navy Health Research Center Gulf War Syndrome Project, George F. Straub Trust, Queen Emma Foundation, Pacific Southwest Regional Genetics Network, Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate, and the Times Community Action Partnership Program. The HBDP is beholden to no one, with all data always being reported out accurately.
