    Additional Information on Eligibility: Bona fide agents of state and territorial governments State and territorial agencies have the public health authority and/or legislative mandate to conduct Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) activities, which include monitoring and tracking the disposition of every occurrent birth in the state. This authority allows the agency or their bona fide agent to work collaboratively with multiple reporting sources, including but not limited to State vital records. Birthing facilities, Diagnostic centers, Audiologist, Early intervention services, Congenital anomaly registries, Immunization registries, and other newborn screening programs to ensure accurate monitoring and tracking of all births statewide.There are two components included in this NOFO:Component A: Improving data quality in the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention-Information System (EHDI-IS) by using data to inform interventions and building collaborations to facilitate data linkage and integration, andComponent B: Incorporating language outcomes data into the EHDI-IS by improving collaboration with early intervention services funded under Part C and other relevant partners that collect language or communication outcomes.To be eligible for Component A, you must 1) Document that there are at least 5,000 babies born in your jurisdiction each year, 2) Document your ability to collect and report biannually all tier 1 patient-level data items found on the table below, 3) Document completeness of demographic and select screening variables that meet or exceed suggested minimum (listed on the table below) and 4) Document completeness of remaining tier 1 variables. See the link under additional information for a list of tier 1 data items.To be eligible for Component B you must, 1) apply for Component A and 2) document your program’s six-month early intervention benchmark for calendar year 2022.

    Description: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support jurisdictional Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs to improve data quality and use of data to inform programmatic actions by examining the timeliness and completeness of the data to help all infants who are born Deaf or Hard of Hearing (D/HH) to reach the full promise of screening, diagnosis, and access to early intervention in the first 6 months of life. Also, the NOFO will support a subset of jurisdictions to integrate language and communication status data at age 3 years within their EHDI surveillance system, enhancing their ability to monitor the impact of early diagnosis of D/HH and subsequent intervention. Specifically, the aims of this NOFO will be to 1) Boost state and local systems and support and bolster jurisdictional staff with technical expertise to develop efficient systems, analyze data, and facilitate linkages to EHDI-related data systems to address gaps in diagnosis and linkage to screening, diagnostic and early intervention services; 2)Focus on improving 1-, 3-, and 6-month data quality and systems by identifying solutions, including jurisdiction specific strategies and policies, to improve data completeness, validity of data or data linkage/integration; 3)Facilitate analysis and use of data to address gaps and disparities in timely screening, diagnosis, and enrollment in early intervention; and 4) Begin to incorporate monitoring developmental status indicator outcomes into EHDI surveillance and pilot adding language/communication developmental status data to the EHDI-IS.
