Fetal, Infant, and Child Death Review Program

The Fetal, Infant, and Child Death Review Program is a forecasted federal discretionary funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration. The opportunity number is HRSA-27-031, and the Assistance Listing is 93.110, Special Projects of Regional and National Significance. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the stated category of funding activity is Health. Grants.gov identifies the opportunity as Forecast 3, with a forecast date of July 31, 2026, and a last updated date of August 27, 2026. Because this is a forecast rather than a posted funding notice, the dates and funding information currently provided are estimates and may be revised when the full opportunity is posted. The program is intended to support coordinated leadership and technical assistance for state, local, and tribal fetal, infant, and child death review teams. The objective is to ensure a standardized and coordinated approach to quality fatality reviews, data collection, and dissemination of findings. These activities are intended to inform review team practice and local prevention strategies. The available forecast does not provide more detailed allowable or prohibited cost categories, indirect cost limitations, subaward restrictions, or other spending rules. It does explicitly state that cost sharing or matching is not required. The estimated total program funding is 5,149,000 dollars, with one award expected. Both the award floor and award ceiling are listed as 5,149,000 dollars, indicating that the single anticipated award is expected to receive the full estimated program funding amount. The available forecast does not state a separate period of performance or describe whether the award amount will be distributed across multiple budget periods. The estimated award date is June 1, 2027, and the estimated project start date is July 1, 2027. The fiscal year associated with the opportunity is 2027. Eligibility is broad. Grants.gov identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits having 501(c)(3) status with the IRS other than institutions of higher education, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, state governments, city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for profit organizations other than small businesses. The listing also includes Others and describes eligibility as unrestricted with respect to the listed entity types, subject to any clarification in the additional eligibility field. The Additional Information on Eligibility field states N/A. The forecast does not identify a specific state, county, city, territory, or other geographic service area restriction. The opportunity is not yet accepting applications because the source identifies it as forecasted. The estimated post date is November 21, 2026, and the estimated application due date is January 20, 2027. Electronically submitted applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the listed application due date. The source does not provide an application package, application questions, required narratives, required attachments, a letter of intent, concept paper, notice of intent, pre-proposal, initial application requirement, or other pre-application gating deadline. It also does not provide evaluation or scoring criteria. Applicants should therefore rely on the full opportunity and application package when they are posted for definitive submission requirements and review criteria. The estimated award date is June 1, 2027, followed by an estimated project start date of July 1, 2027. The forecast lists an archive date of September 1, 2028. No statement in the supplied information establishes that the opportunity is annual, biennial, quarterly, or otherwise recurring, so no future recurrence is inferred. The grantor contact is identified as the FICDR Program rather than a named individual. The program contact telephone number is 301-443-2560, and the email address is mchbdcafh@hrsa.gov. Because this is a forecasted opportunity, applicants should recognize that the post date, deadline, award timing, project start date, funding level, and other program terms remain estimated until the full funding opportunity is issued.
