Description:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) Newborn screening programs test infants for diseases that require immediate medical treatment but are not apparent at birth. More than 4 million newborns are tested annually in the United States, and thousands of infants and children are saved from disability and death through early detection and treatment. Newborn screening practices, including the types of disorders for which newborns are screened, vary from state to state. The implementation of new conditions to the “Recommended Uniform Screening Panel” (RUSP) requires review of existing evidence that can be addressed by feasibility studies and a state-based pilot to assess the clinical validity of the screening test. Studies performed in the context of a high throughput newborn screening public health program will provide the data and insight necessary for effective evidence-based decision making when new conditions are being considered for addition to the RUSP. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to seek rigorous research that will improve evidence-based decision-making for national implementation of the addition of new conditions to the RUSP.
