Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 082
The Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) Prevention Program is a federal funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, designed to lower the overall number of sudden unexpected infant deaths and to narrow the persistent racial and ethnic disparities seen in SUID outcomes. The program is built around a practical idea: pediatric health care providers are in a strong position to influence caregiver behavior and connect families to supports, but they also need better access to local data and stronger partnerships with community systems so prevention efforts match the real risks families face in specific places. Rather than treating SUID prevention as only a messaging campaign, this opportunity emphasizes evidence-based counseling, culturally responsive communication, and improvements in the systems and policies that shape infant sleep environments and caregiver choices.
A central feature of the program is the creation and leadership of a national coalition with broad representation. The funded recipient is expected to bring together pediatric providers alongside social service organizations, leaders involved in fatality reviews, community groups that serve populations at highest risk for SUID, and families who have experienced a SUID loss. The coalition is meant to function as a national hub for identifying what is working in different states and communities, promoting safe infant sleep best practices, and ensuring that prevention strategies are informed by both data and lived experience. The program also explicitly calls for expertise areas within the coalition such as safe sleep practice, breastfeeding, maternal health, fatality review processes, and culturally responsive communication with infant caregivers and families.
Another major focus is increasing pediatric providers awareness and use of state and community fatality review information, specifically data and recommendations from fetal/infant mortality review (FIMR) and child death review (CDR) teams. The grant expects the recipient to help providers understand the local drivers of SUID and how those drivers connect to caregiver practices, health and social service systems, and local policy conditions. The intent is to move pediatric counseling beyond general advice into guidance that reflects community-specific patterns, such as barriers to accessing safe sleep spaces, unstable housing, gaps in postpartum supports, or other local factors that contribute to unequal risk. By strengthening the connection between providers and fatality review findings, the program aims to make prevention efforts more targeted, actionable, and equitable.
The program also aims to directly engage pediatric providers in hands-on prevention activity with families and with community prevention structures. Providers are expected to assist caregivers in creating safe sleep environments through risk and protective factor assessments, counseling, and education that is evidence-based, comprehensive, and culturally responsive. In addition to clinical counseling, the program stresses provider participation in broader community action, including serving as members of FIMR or CDR teams and working with associated community action teams (CATs), State Advisory Boards, or other local SUID prevention groups. This structure is meant to help providers not only educate families, but also contribute to identifying gaps in services and policies and to initiating improvements that reduce community-specific risks and disparities.
The notice includes a timeline of concrete deliverables. Within 3 months of project launch, the recipient must convene and lead the national coalition, ensuring participation by nationally recognized organizations aligned with SUID prevention and related fields. Within 6 months, the recipient, working with the coalition and HRSA, must establish criteria for identifying best practices, including clear examples of successful prevention strategies that are tailored to state or community risks and achieved through collaboration among FIMR/CDR teams, CATs, advisory boards, and pediatric providers. Also within 6 months, the recipient must promote pediatric provider participation in community action teams, reinforcing the idea that provider engagement should extend beyond the clinic. Within 12 months, the recipient must promote and disseminate the identified best practices and real-world implementation examples so they can be adopted or adapted elsewhere.
By the end of the project, the recipient is expected to produce and widely disseminate practical tools and resources that help pediatric providers take action based on fatality review data and recommendations. These tools are expected to support multiple functions: assessing SUID risk and protective factors; identifying the specific challenges that caregivers and families face; delivering counseling and education that is evidence-based and culturally responsive while emphasizing risks that are specific to the provider's state or community; identifying gaps and barriers in health and social service systems and in local policies that contribute to racial and ethnic disparities; and partnering with others to implement community-specific SUID prevention strategies. In other words, the deliverables should help providers translate local data into consistent, usable workflows and community partnerships rather than leaving them with abstract recommendations.
