Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP 23 0066
The grant opportunity titled "Preventing Maternal Mortality: Supporting Maternal Mortality Review Committees" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP 23 0066) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and sustain Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs) as a key tool for understanding and preventing pregnancy-related deaths. Administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NCCDPHP, this funding supports the hands-on work needed to identify maternal deaths, review them consistently, and translate findings into actionable prevention strategies. The overall purpose is to help MMRC programs build a clearer, more timely picture of why pregnancy-related deaths occur, whether they were preventable, and what changes in systems of care and community supports could reduce future deaths.
At the core of this opportunity is support for agencies and organizations that coordinate and manage MMRC operations. Funded recipients are expected to identify and characterize pregnancy-related deaths and assess preventability through structured committee review. This includes abstracting both clinical and non-clinical information into a standardized data system, which is important because maternal deaths often involve not only medical factors, but also social, behavioral, logistical, and systems-level issues such as access to care, transportation, housing instability, insurance gaps, bias and discrimination, mental health and substance use challenges, and fragmented care coordination. The grant also emphasizes conducting informant interviews to strengthen individual case reviews. These interviews can provide context that may not be captured in medical records alone and can help committees understand the circumstances surrounding a death in a more complete and accurate way.
A central performance expectation highlighted in the announcement is timely, standardized data entry. Recipients must enter information into the standard data system within two years of the death. This timeline matters because MMRC findings are most useful when they can inform current prevention efforts, policy decisions, clinical quality improvement, and public health programming. By pushing toward consistent and timely data entry, the program aims to improve the quality, comparability, and usability of maternal mortality information across participating jurisdictions.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally means CDC anticipates having substantial involvement with awardees, such as providing technical assistance, guidance on methods and standards, and support to improve data quality and consistent review processes. The program falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.946.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that may be involved in maternal health surveillance and review activities. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as described in additional eligibility clarification. In practical terms, this wide eligibility is meant to allow the organizations most capable of convening and operating MMRC functions in a jurisdiction to apply, whether that is a health department, university partner, nonprofit, or another qualified organization.
The application timeline provided in the source indicates the funding opportunity was created on March 24, 2023, with an original closing date of May 23, 2023. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date. The award ceiling listed is $860,000, and CDC expected to make 14 awards. While the specifics of budgets and work plans would be negotiated per recipient, these figures indicate CDC intended to support a multi-jurisdiction cohort of MMRC programs at a meaningful funding level to carry out intensive case identification, abstraction, interviews, review, and data entry activities.
In summary, this CDC opportunity funds the operational backbone of MMRCs: finding and confirming pregnancy-related deaths, compiling and standardizing the relevant clinical and contextual information, using interviews to fill in critical gaps, and completing rigorous reviews that determine preventability and contributing factors. The emphasis on standardized systems and completing data entry within two years is meant to improve the speed and consistency of maternal mortality information, so prevention recommendations can be developed and acted on faster, ultimately supporting the broader public health goal of reducing maternal deaths.Apply for CDC RFA DP 23 0066
