Description: This announcement solicits applications for the Sickle Cell Disease Newborn Screening Follow-Up Program (SCDNBSFP) to provide support for a Sickle Cell Newborn Screening Technical Assistance Center (TAC) that will improve the care and reduce rates of loss to follow-up of individuals identified with sickle cell disease (SCD) and sickle cell trait through universal newborn screening by supporting efforts of community-based organizations (CBOs) on sickle cell disease education and service coordination. This program will enhance sickle cell CBOs&#8217; ability to ensure that individuals diagnosed with sickle cell disease through newborn screening receive appropriate follow-up services including counseling, education, access to a medical home, and other support services. The primary population focus should be families of individuals identified with sickle cell disease and trait through newborn screening.
