The Division of Human Development and Disability of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "Enhancing Timely Data Reporting, Quality, and Use in Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Surveillance" with an application deadline of March 6, 2025. This funding aims to improve the quality and utilization of data to ensure timely diagnosis and intervention for infants who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). The initiative is structured in two components: 1. **Component A** focuses on improving data quality in state EHDI Information Systems (EHDI-IS) and fostering collaborations for better data integration. Funding for this component is substantial, with about $33.15 million expected over the program period. Components A and B have different funding levels, with a total of 39 awards for Component A. 2. **Component B**, which is optional, allows states to collect language outcome data as part of EHDI-IS while emphasizing collaboration with early intervention services, with $1.875 million earmarked for this purpose. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city governments with mandates for Universal Newborn Hearing Screening. The program stresses enhancing tracking and reporting capabilities, promoting collaborative partnerships, and addressing disparities in access to timely services, aiming ultimately to bolster the health and well-being of infants diagnosed as D/HH.
