Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP18 1806
The Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) and Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case Registry grant opportunity (CDC RFA DP18-1806) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to help states, jurisdictions, and partner organizations build stronger, more consistent surveillance of sudden deaths in infants and young people. The central goal is to produce a complete and usable picture of when, where, and why these deaths occur by standardizing how cases are identified, investigated, reviewed, and coded. This program emphasizes practical collaboration across the systems that touch these deaths, especially medicolegal death investigation offices and child death review teams, so that the data collected are timely, high quality, and directly useful for prevention.
The work is anchored in using the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevention (NCFRP) protocols. In practice, recipients are expected to systematically find and capture all eligible SUID and/or SDY cases in their selected coverage area, compile information from multiple sources (for example, death scene investigation findings, autopsy results, medical records, and other relevant investigative documents), and bring those cases to multidisciplinary review. These reviews are meant to involve professionals who can interpret the circumstances from different angles, such as medical examiners/coroners, public health staff, clinicians, law enforcement, emergency responders, and others as appropriate. After review, cases must be categorized using established criteria so that the registry does not just count deaths, but also describes them in a way that supports comparison across places and over time. A major expectation is continuous improvement in data quality and timeliness, along with routine dissemination of findings so the information does not sit in a database but actively informs prevention efforts and policy decisions. Recipients are also expected to analyze and describe risk factors and circumstances that can guide targeted interventions.
Applicants must choose a required SUID Core Component focused on infants from birth through 1 year of age. There are two paths: (1) statewide SUID surveillance, where the applicant covers the whole state, or (2) SUID surveillance limited to one or multiple forensic jurisdiction(s), which allows applicants to focus on selected medical examiner/coroner regions or counties. Beyond the required SUID component, applicants may also elect to add an SDY Optional Expanded Component covering deaths from age 1 through at least age 17. The SDY option similarly comes in two versions: (1) statewide SDY surveillance, but only if the applicant selected statewide SUID surveillance as the core component, or (2) SDY surveillance in one or multiple forensic jurisdiction(s), which must correspond to the same jurisdictions selected under the jurisdiction-based SUID core option. Importantly, additional funds are tied to choosing the SDY expanded component, but applicants are expected to show they already have, or can credibly establish, the collaborations described in the announcement to make SDY surveillance workable (because SDY cases often require coordination across additional systems and stakeholders).
The outcomes CDC is aiming for by the end of the project period are concrete and programmatic rather than purely academic. Recipients are expected to deliver a complete, comprehensive, population-based SUID/SDY surveillance dataset for their chosen coverage area, with consistent categorization so incidence and trends can be reported by specific case types. Those surveillance outputs should then be used to shape prevention and health promotion strategies, including changes to policies and practices among agencies and systems that serve children and families. The program also explicitly aims to increase community awareness using credible local data and to expand the use of standardized death scene investigation and case investigation practices, so that future investigations generate better information and ultimately support prevention.
