## What the grant funds

The Division of Birth Defects and Infant Disorders (DBDID) works to identify and address preventable causes of birth defects, infant disorders, and related conditions; promote and improve the health of people living with birth defects, infant disorders, and related conditions; and rapidly respond to emerging and re-emerging health threats to understand and reduce their effects on pregnant people and their infants. DBDID in collaboration with the Division of Reproductive Health (DRH) proposes to allocate funds to implement a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO): CDC‐RFA‐DD-23‐0004, Enhancing partnerships to address birth defects, infant disorders and related conditions, and the health of pregnant and postpartum people. The project period will be five years, with five 12‐month budget periods and an anticipated project start date of September 30, 2023. The purpose of this NOFO is to improve clinical and public health outcomes for pregnant people and their infants and for people with birth defects and related conditions. Through the multicomponent NOFO, CDC aims to fund organizations and institutions (with experience supporting populations and parents directly, reaching clinicians and other professionals who are responsible for patient care, community-level organizations, and public health professionals) that serve specific these populations of focus. Strategies for this NOFO include:(1) enhancing the collection and translation of data, (2) summarizing and disseminating data-informed products, (3) building capacity and technical assistance, (4) showcasing policies and best practices, (5) establishing partnership networks for cross collaboration, and (6) enhancing community engagement and implementation of data-informed activities.
