Baby-ZZZ Safe Sleep Program (Formerly Preventing Sleep-Related Infant Deaths)

The Baby-ZZZ Safe Sleep Program, formerly Preventing Sleep-Related Infant Deaths, is a grant opportunity administered through Illinois Public Health under CSFA Number 482-00-1357 and Agency Opportunity Number BZSSP-27. The program is posted as an initial announcement and uses a grant assistance instrument. The available source identifies the program contact as Alexander J. Smith at alexander.j.smith@illinois.gov. The available listing does not provide a full narrative description of program goals, allowable activities, eligibility requirements, application questions, or review criteria. Based on the program name only, the opportunity is connected to safe sleep and prevention of sleep-related infant deaths, but no additional program scope, service model, target population details, or required intervention activities are stated in the provided source. No spending restrictions beyond indirect cost information are provided. The opportunity anticipates making 3 awards with estimated total program funding of $300,000. The listed single award range is $0 to $100,000; however, because a zero award floor is not treated as a valid minimum funding amount for entry, the floor should be verified rather than entered as zero. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Indirect costs are allowed, and the listing states there are no restrictions on indirect costs. The opportunity was posted on April 24, 2026, and the application date range is April 24, 2026 through May 25, 2026 at 4:30. The source does not specify a time zone, so the date is stored as May 25, 2026. Applications are submitted through the listed IDPH grants portal link. The source also identifies a technical assistance session as offered but not mandatory, scheduled for May 11, 2026 at 11 CDT, with a Webex registration link. The source does not list eligible applicant types, geographic restrictions, application attachments, scoring criteria, award notification timing, project start date, project end date, reporting requirements, or recurrence. Because the opportunity appears in the Illinois CSFA system and is administered by Illinois Public Health, the geography is treated as Illinois unless verified otherwise in the Opportunity PDF or full application materials. The uploaded PDF available in the record appears to concern a different federal Clean Vessel Act opportunity and was not used as the source for this Baby-ZZZ Safe Sleep Program entry.

Attend the optional technical assistance session, submit before the May 25, 2026 4:30 deadline, and verify eligibility and required attachments in the Opportunity PDF or portal.
