Maternal-Child Surveillance and Partnerships for Action, Results, and Knowledge
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities is seeking applications for the Maternal-Child Surveillance and Partnerships for Action, Results, and Knowledge cooperative agreement. Funded activities aim to integrate maternal-child health surveillance with national partnerships to address public health challenges such as prenatal alcohol and polysubstance exposure, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, neonatal abstinence syndrome, and cytomegalovirus. The work is divided into three components, requiring applicants to either conduct clinic-based surveillance, execute national Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders partnership and outreach activities, or provide informatics and technical support. Eligible applicants can apply for only one component and must meet specific criteria, such as holding legal public health authority for the surveillance data under Component A or demonstrating national reach and capacity for Component B. The CDC estimates a total program funding of $51,000,000 to support approximately 23 awards, with applications closing on April 26, 2027.
Eligible Applicants
The NOFO has three components: Component A, Component B, and Component C. Eligible applicants may apply for only one component. If an applicant submits multiple applications, all applications submitted by that applicant will be deemed non-responsive, and will not receive further review. In the "Descriptive Title of Applicant's Project" on the SF-424 form, applicants must identify the component and, as applicable, the strategies for which they are applying. Applicants that do not identify the applicable components and strategies on the SF-424 form will be deemed non-responsive and will not receive further review. Eligible applicants for Component A must have the public health authority, legislative mandate or otherwise show legal access to the requisite data to conduct clinic-based surveillance.

Applicants must also demonstrate their ability to develop new communication materials and continually identify and update resources that could be applied to one or more target populations, as well as quantify metrics of impact. Applicant's history of outreach to these populations should include, but may not be limited to, evidence-based educational information, resources, and support.Eligible applicants for Component C must be able to demonstrate ability to provide informatics and technical support to Component A applicants supporting standardized data collection, quality assurance, and timely data submission.
