Opportunity Summary:
The National Fetal, Infant and Child Death Review Center Program is a federal discretionary funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It is administered through HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), specifically involving the Division of Child, Adolescent, and Family Health (DCAFH) and the Division of Healthy Start and Perinatal Services (DHSPS). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA anticipates having a substantial level of involvement with the recipient in carrying out the work, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction.
The core purpose of the program is to support a National Fetal, Infant, and Child Death Review Center (FICDRC) that can strengthen and improve how fetal, infant, and child death reviews are conducted across the country. The broader public health goal behind these reviews is prevention: by conducting systematic, multidisciplinary reviews of deaths, programs can identify contributing factors at multiple levels, including individual circumstances, environmental conditions, clinical care issues, and larger system gaps. The idea is that these reviews can uncover preventable patterns and modifiable risk factors that routine administrative data systems and standard surveillance may not reveal, and then convert those findings into practical recommendations that reduce future deaths.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is building and supporting state and local capacity to conduct complete and accurate death reviews. The announcement references an estimated national network that includes roughly 1,200 Child Death Review (CDR) programs and 159 Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) programs. The Center funded under this opportunity is expected to help those programs function more consistently and effectively by promoting standardized data collection protocols and common data elements. Standardization is important in this context because it improves data quality, allows comparison across jurisdictions, and makes it more feasible to aggregate findings into state and national insights that can guide prevention strategies.
In practice, the Center's work is framed around providing data infrastructure and support, along with training and technical assistance to states and communities. The Center is meant to help local and state programs understand how to use CDR and FIMR processes not just as retrospective reviews, but as tools to address adverse maternal, infant, child, and adolescent outcomes. It is also expected to help jurisdictions monitor progress toward improving maternal and child health systems, improve the quality and effectiveness of review processes themselves, and increase the availability and use of review data to measure performance and inform prevention efforts. Another explicit function is national dissemination, meaning the Center should help share results, lessons learned, and prevention-oriented recommendations broadly so they can influence program design, quality improvement initiatives, health systems development, and policy decisions at local, state, and federal levels.
Funding for the opportunity is listed at an estimated total of $1,000,000, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is HRSA-15-069, and it falls under CFDA 93.110 (Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs). Eligibility is broad: any public or private entity may apply, including Indian tribes and tribal organizations as defined in federal law. Faith-based and community-based organizations are also eligible if they otherwise meet requirements. The opportunity was posted in January 2015, with an application closing date of March 20, 2015, and it was archived in May 2015.
For applicants at the time, HRSA provided a grants application contact point through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with Diane Pilkey, RN, MPH listed as a point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement and related questions.
