Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant opportunity titled "Reducing Loss to Followup After Failure to Pass Newborn Hearing Screening" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-142) is a discretionary health grant designed to strengthen statewide systems that make sure newborns are screened for hearing loss and, just as importantly, that infants who do not pass the initial screen receive timely diagnostic followup and early intervention. The central problem the funding targets is "loss to followup," meaning infants who fail or miss a screening and then do not complete the next steps needed to confirm whether hearing loss is present and to connect with services quickly.
The program supports universal newborn hearing screening across the United States, with an emphasis on completing screening at the right time and avoiding gaps for babies who are born outside of hospitals. The grant is intended to promote screening of all infants prior to hospital discharge, while also ensuring that out-of-hospital births are screened by one month of age. Beyond screening, the opportunity focuses on moving infants efficiently through the early hearing detection and intervention timeline: confirming normal hearing or diagnosing hearing loss by three months of age, and enrolling infants who need it into early intervention services by six months of age. The opportunity also highlights the importance of linking families to a medical home and connecting them to family-to-family support programs, reflecting a broader goal of coordinated care and sustained support rather than one-time testing.
This funding opportunity was posted on March 18, 2009, with an application deadline of May 8, 2009, and it was archived on July 27, 2009. HRSA anticipated making four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.251 (Universal Newborn Hearing Screening). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is centered on state-level entities, with the eligibility information indicating state governments as the eligible applicants, and an "Others" category referenced alongside a note to consult the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement. In practice, this kind of grant is typically used to improve statewide screening and tracking infrastructure, strengthen reporting and care coordination, and implement processes that reduce the number of infants who fall through administrative or clinical cracks between the initial screen, diagnostic evaluation, and early intervention enrollment.
For additional details, HRSA provided a link to the full announcement and directed applicants needing help accessing the notice to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV), including phone contacts at 877-464-4772 and 301-998-7373.
