    Justification: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 
117-328) provided MCHB with additional appropriations for the Sickle 
Cell Disease Newborn Screening Follow-up Program. The Program currently 
funds 25 community-based organizations to facilitate access to quality 
SCD care. MCHB will provide a supplement of $56,000 to each of the 25 
existing grantees, as outlined in Table 1. Funds will support in-scope 
grant activities related to health care services, increasing access to 
medical and social support services, and conducting outreach to help 
connect individuals living with SCD to follow up care.
