SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient(s) of the Award: American Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP).
Amount of Non-Competitive Award(s): One Award of $500,000.
Project Period: July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
Assistance Listing (CFDA) Number: 93.110.
Award Instrument: Cooperative Agreement.
Authority: This non-competitive supplemental funding is authorized
by 42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2) (title V, sec. 501(a)(2) of the Social Security
Act).
Purpose/Justification: HRSA will provide a non-competitive
supplement of $500,000 to the SUID Prevention Program recipient, AAP,
to extend the period of performance by an additional year, July 1,
2025, to June 30, 2026, to connect families with the resources that
they need and to help improve family capacity to practice safe sleep.
This Program was awarded on July 1, 2022, for a 3-year period (HRSA 22-
082). The purpose of the program is to reduce overall rates of SUID by
supporting pediatric health care practitioners to provide evidence-
based counseling and education to infant caregivers and families; to
guide system improvements; and to identify and support policy changes
that address state- and community-specific SUID risks. The awardee has
demonstrated progress during this period and will be able to expand
that progress if extended by 1 year.
Funds are available for award for this non-competitive supplement.
A non-competitive supplement is necessary to ensure on time, high-
quality implementation of best practices for reducing infant deaths
that the current recipient is uniquely positioned to continue. The
recipient is in good standing with current HRSA grant requirements and
has been a leader in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and SUID
prevention for decades, starting with the initial Back to Sleep
campaign in the 1990s that urged parents and caregivers to place
infants to sleep supine following the emergence of data that supported
this recommendation. More recently, the AAP Task Force on SIDS has
published comprehensive recommendations for the prevention of SIDS,
Accidental Suffocation and Strangulation in Bed, and other sleep-
related deaths, based on a detailed and impartial analysis of all
available evidence. In addition, AAP directs several initiatives aimed
at improving child health outcomes.
The current recipient will use their existing infrastructure to
maintain implementation without disruption and they are the only
organization with a unique existing network of practicing pediatricians
and related professionals who are part of a National Safe Sleep
Champion Network, a network of pediatrician experts in safe sleep to
promote safe sleep recommendations and education for providers to
better serve families.
The recipient will be expected to ensure continued efforts around
reducing infant deaths by disseminating and implementing best
practices, increasing connections with state and local infant fatality
review teams and AAP Chapters, supporting implementation of a community
engagement toolkit, and expanding their National Safe Sleep Champion
Network.
