Electronic Case Reporting Pilot Implementation Project for Newborn Screening Conditions

The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), in participation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seeks proposals to support public health jurisdictions in piloting electronic case reporting (eCR) for newborn screening (NBS) conditions and evaluating its impact on surveillance and data quality. The selected recipient must identify at least two NBS conditions to pilot, update or author them in RCKMS, establish evaluation questions and a workplan, analyze data, and produce a summary report. Deliverables also include delivering a presentation summary to the CSTE NBS and eCR workgroup and submitting a final report to CDC and CSTE by July 31, 2027. Eligibility is restricted to onshore United States organizations. Applicants must submit their proposals physically by courier or post. A review panel comprising CSTE National Office staff, CSTE Steering Committee members, and subject matter experts will evaluate complete, eligible applications based on scientific and technical merit, proposal quality, and the applicant's ability to meet stated criteria. All applicants will receive notification by email no later than January 15, 2027.
