Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP 23 0006

The Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) and Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case Registry grant opportunity (CDC RFA DP 23 0006) is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement intended to strengthen how states, jurisdictions, or multi-jurisdictional partnerships identify, review, and track sudden and unexpected deaths in infants and young people. The main purpose is to improve the quality, consistency, and completeness of fatality data so communities can better understand how often these deaths occur, which groups are most affected, what risk factors are showing up in case reviews, and what prevention actions are most likely to reduce future deaths, including actions specifically aimed at reducing inequities.

Funded recipients are expected to coordinate and operate a registry effort that captures all resident deaths that meet the program definitions, then route those cases through a structured Child Death Review (CDR) process. The opportunity is organized around multiple components. Component A focuses on identifying and reviewing sudden and unexpected infant deaths among residents. Component B expands to sudden deaths among infants and children (often described in this program as SDY-related case registry work). Across these components, the work involves finding eligible deaths, ensuring case abstraction is done thoroughly, and standardizing information gathered from multiple systems involved in a death investigation (such as medical examiner or coroner findings, law enforcement reports, autopsy results when available, death certificates, scene investigation details, and relevant clinical history).

A core deliverable is data entry and management using the National Fatality Review Case Reporting System (NFR-CRS). Recipients compile case information from the CDR process and enter it into this national system so the data can be used both locally and nationally in a comparable way. The registry is not just a collection exercise; it is designed to support analysis that can translate into prevention. Recipients analyze the data to calculate incidence rates, monitor trends, and identify disparities between subpopulations, including differences that may be associated with race, ethnicity, geography, socioeconomic conditions, or other relevant factors. The expectation is that these findings will be used to inform practical, evidence-informed prevention activities and to guide decision-making for public health and partner agencies.

In addition to the surveillance and review infrastructure, the opportunity includes funding for SUID prevention strategy development (Component C). This prevention work is meant to be driven by the recipient's own registry data and aligned with American Academy of Pediatrics guidance, which is commonly used as a foundation for safe sleep and related infant care recommendations. The intent is to help recipients move beyond counting cases into implementing and refining targeted prevention approaches, especially in communities experiencing higher risk or persistent disparities. This could include improving the way safe sleep guidance is communicated and adopted, strengthening partnerships with healthcare and community organizations, and using local findings to tailor interventions rather than relying only on broad, one-size-fits-all messaging.

Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by the Department of Health and Human Services through the CDC (NCCDPHP) and uses a cooperative agreement model, meaning CDC typically has substantial involvement through collaboration, guidance, and shared expectations about implementation rather than acting as a hands-off funder. The listing indicates an expected 33 awards and shows an award ceiling of 0, which generally signals that the exact maximum may not be stated in the summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full notice. The original posting shows a creation date of January 17, 2023, with an original closing date of March 18, 2023, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 pm ET on the deadline date.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that could realistically coordinate a statewide or regional registry effort. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the full notice. This wide eligibility reflects the fact that CDR and fatality review infrastructure can be housed in different places depending on the state or jurisdiction, such as a health department, a university partner, a nonprofit coordinating body, or a designated multi-agency coalition.

Overall, the opportunity funds an end-to-end system that starts with complete case identification, moves through multidisciplinary child death review, standardizes and submits the data into a national reporting platform, and then uses that information to measure burden, detect inequities, and drive prevention strategies. The practical goal is to strengthen the evidence base for preventing SUID and SDY, improve consistency in how deaths are reviewed and classified, and ensure that prevention actions are informed by the realities found in local case data rather than assumptions.
