Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DD17 1701
The grant opportunity titled "Documentation and Use of Follow-up Diagnostic and Intervention Services Data through the Maintenance and Enhancement of the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Information System (EHDI-IS)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DD17-1701) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to help state governments strengthen how they track and document follow-up care for infants who do not pass newborn hearing screening or who otherwise need additional hearing-related services. It sits within the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program area, where prior CDC investments have helped jurisdictions achieve very high newborn screening coverage (over 95 percent) and improve identification of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The core issue the announcement is trying to address is that, despite strong screening rates, EHDI information systems and data practices are uneven across jurisdictions, and many infants are not reliably documented as receiving the recommended next steps: diagnostic testing to confirm hearing status and early intervention services when needed.
The main purpose of this funding is to improve the completeness, accuracy, and usefulness of data on follow-up diagnostic and intervention services within EHDI-IS systems. In practical terms, the CDC is signaling that screening alone is not enough; what matters is whether infants who need follow-up actually get timely diagnostic evaluations and, if diagnosed as deaf or hard of hearing, are connected to appropriate early intervention services without delays. The funding supports recipients in identifying specific barriers that lead to missing or incomplete follow-up data (for example, gaps in reporting from audiology providers, lack of data-sharing agreements, inconsistent data fields, or workflow problems between screening, diagnosis, and intervention programs) and then implementing approaches to fix those gaps. The emphasis is on making sure the system can capture end-to-end information for every infant who requires follow-up, not just those who were screened.
A central theme of the opportunity is that timely follow-up services have lifelong consequences. If diagnostic testing and early intervention are delayed, children can miss critical windows for early language and communication development, which can affect educational and social outcomes over time. By improving how follow-up is documented and tracked, EHDI programs can more effectively find infants who are lost to follow-up or lost to documentation, target outreach, reduce delays, and ultimately increase the real-world impact of newborn hearing screening programs. In other words, the grant is as much about improving program performance and accountability as it is about improving data systems, because better data helps jurisdictions ensure children actually receive the services they need.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within NCBDDD, and it uses the cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC typically expects substantial involvement in the work (such as technical assistance, guidance, and collaboration on approaches).
