Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 125
The Newborn Screening State Evaluation Program (HRSA 18-125) is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to strengthen how states evaluate their newborn screening systems. The overall aim is to reduce illness and deaths linked to heritable disorders that are screened at birth by making sure screening programs are not only operating, but also measurably effective from the first test through follow-up care.
At its core, the program focuses on evaluation of the full newborn screening pathway, not just the laboratory test. Funded states are expected to assess how well their systems perform across screening, follow-up of results, and referral to appropriate counseling and health care services. The grant supports states in running a demonstration effort that uses standardized quality indicator data to identify gaps, track performance over time, and support continuous quality improvement. This approach is meant to help states see where delays or breakdowns happen and to provide a common framework for comparing performance trends within a state over multiple years.
A key feature of this opportunity is its link to HRSA s Newborn Screening Data Repository and Technical Assistance program (HRSA-18-080). That separate HRSA-supported effort developed the quality indicators and provides technical assistance and a data repository. In practice, states funded under this opportunity are expected to implement the use of those quality indicators within their own programs and contribute data that can be used for statewide longitudinal analysis and, when aggregated, for a broader national picture of newborn screening performance. The notice also notes an expected milestone that the data repository would be ready to accept data by September 2019, which signals that awardees would be working toward preparing and submitting indicator data in alignment with that timeline.
The quality indicators themselves are intended to reflect important actions and decision points throughout the newborn screening system. The notice highlights several examples, including processes for handling borderline screening results, tracking eligible newborns to ensure they are included in screening, evaluating specimen collection practices, monitoring issues like improper transport that can compromise samples, and measuring the timeliness of medical intervention. Together, these indicators are meant to help states pinpoint operational issues that could delay diagnosis or treatment, which is especially important for conditions where outcomes depend heavily on rapid follow-up and early care.
Administrative details show this is a discretionary grant with a relatively modest award size, with an award ceiling of 60,000 dollars and an expected 17 awards. Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the state-run nature of most U.S. newborn screening programs. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.110, was posted July 5, 2018, and had an application deadline of August 8, 2018. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for states to adopt a standardized, data-driven evaluation method for newborn screening systems, using HRSA-defined quality indicators to improve performance and ultimately improve health outcomes for newborns with heritable disorders.Apply for HRSA 18 125
