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.

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.
