Description: Attachment A STATEMENT OF WORK August 21, 2023 Project Title:� Content Development for the Newborn Screening Information Center (MCHB62 C 4669)� BACKGROUND The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the primary federal agency for improving access to health care for the tens of millions of Americans who, for a variety of reasons, are medically underserved or face barriers to needed care.� HRSA�s mission is to improve health and achieve health equity through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce and innovative programs. Newborn Screening (NBS) is a successful public health program implemented at the state level that saves and/or improves the lives of thousands of babies each year in the United States. Four million newborns each year are screened for conditions that are included on state�s NBS panels as recommended by the HHS Secretary. These conditions may not be apparent at birth but require early intervention and treatment. Early detection mitigates brain and organ damage, may attenuate disease severity, and prevent life-threatening complications associated with these conditions.� MCHB has administered various NBS and other heritable disorders programs, which were authorized by the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-204) and reauthorized by the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-240).� These programs collectively aim to enhance, improve, or expand the ability of states and local public health agencies to provide screening, counseling, and health care services to newborns and children having or at risk for having heritable disorders. The Maternal and Child Health Bureau of HRSA is providing this contract in support of the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Public Health Service Act � 1112 (42 U.S.C. 300b-11)). The statute requires HRSA to establish and maintain a central clearinghouse of current educational and family support and services information, materials, resources, research, and data on NBS.� The Newborn Screening Information Center (NBSIC) is a trusted resources for NBS and is an objective, impartial website. The HRSA Office of Communications (OC), within the Office of the Administrator, directs all web and social media outreach efforts of the agency.� This includes creating, publishing, managing, deleting, maintaining, and ensuring Section 508 compliance, usability and plain-language writing of the content for www.hrsa.gov and its sub-domains to host content developed through this requirement. The HRSA OC team will be uploading the content to https://newbornscreening.hrsa.gov/ and https://newbornscreening.hrsa.gov/es. The purpose of the NBSIC website is to: Enable parents and family members of newborns, health professionals, industry representatives, and other members of the public to increase their awareness, knowledge and understanding of NBS. Increase awareness, knowledge, and understanding of NBS for expectant individuals and families. Per the legislation, the NBSIC website shall: Be available on the Internet. Include an interactive forum. Be updated on a regular basis, but not less than quarterly. Provide the following: links to Government-sponsored, non-profit, and other Internet websites of laboratories that have demonstrated expertise in NBS that supply research-based information on NBS tests currently available throughout the United States. information about newborn conditions and screening services available in each State from laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, including information about supplemental screening that is available but not required, in the State where the infant is born. current research on both treatable and not-yet treatable conditions for which NBS tests are available. the availability of Federal funding for newborn and child screening for heritable disorders including grants authorized under the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of 2014; and other relevant information as determined appropriate by the Secretary and HRSA. PURPOSE/GENERAL DESCRIPTION The purpose of this contract is to develop new materials and maintain current educational materials in English and Spanish for a central clearinghouse of NBS information that is located at https://newbornscreening.hrsa.gov/ and https://newbornscreening.hrsa.gov/es.
