    Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering a funding opportunity for the "Surveillance of Congenital Heart Defects Among Children, Adolescents, and Adults" through a cooperative agreement. This initiative aims to conduct population-based surveillance to improve health outcomes and equity for individuals living with congenital heart defects (CHD), focusing on collecting and analyzing comprehensive data on health outcomes, healthcare utilization, and health equity. The program is particularly significant as it addresses the public health burden of CHD, which affects approximately 1% of all births in the U.S., and seeks to fill gaps in data regarding long-term outcomes for individuals with CHD. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by May 14, 2024, with funding amounts ranging from $50,000 to $800,000, and are encouraged to contact Justin Horhn at jgi7@cdc.gov for further information.

    The document outlines the required data elements for the CDC's project "Surveillance of Congenital Heart Defects Among Children, Adolescents, and Adults" (CDC-RFA-DD-24-0051) set for March 2024. Its primary objective is to collect comprehensive demographic, health, and healthcare encounter data for individuals with congenital heart defects. The data elements include demographics (e.g., sex, marital status, ethnicity), medical history, maternal and paternal information, insurance details, and results from critical congenital heart disease screenings. Key sections specify required inputs such as cause and age at death, maternal characteristics at delivery, prenatal care details, and healthcare encounter information. The document emphasizes systematic data collection to enhance surveillance capabilities and improve public health understanding of congenital heart defects across diverse age groups. This analytical format aligns with federal or state grant proposals and RFPs by requiring extensive data reporting and compliance for ongoing public health initiatives. The strategic collection aims to inform future healthcare policies and ensure better outcomes for affected populations.

    The CDC-RFA-DD-24-0051 initiative focuses on the surveillance of congenital heart defects among individuals spanning infants to adults. This request for federal funding outlines the required data elements essential for comprehensive data collection. Key demographic information including sex, ethnicity, and race is mandated, while specific details such as date and location of birth or death are not required. A thorough collection of maternal and paternal health data, including ages, education levels, and insurance information, is necessary for informed monitoring. Healthcare encounter data must detail types of encounters, ICD diagnosis codes, and insurance types, while comprehensive Newborn Critical Congenital Heart Defects Screening data such as pulse oximetry results is also mandated. The document highlights the importance of accurate coding and registry information, emphasizing the CDC's commitment to tracking and ultimately improving outcomes for those affected by congenital heart defects. This structured approach ensures that valuable data is collected to enhance public health knowledge and intervention strategies over time.
