Description
Grant Amount: Approximate Current Fiscal Year Funding: $400,000; Approximate Total Project Period Funding: $1,200,000.
CDC announces the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 funds for cooperative agreements with state or local jurisdictions that have existing Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Programs (PHBPP). The purpose of this funding announcement is for Supplemental Evaluation Projects (SEP) to facilitate or enhance the success of current immunization practice to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B through assessment of (1) The completeness of screening and reporting hepatitis B infected (hepatitis B surface antigen positive, [HBsAg-positive]) pregnant women for PHBPP case management of their infants, including immunization. (2) The implementation of prenatal evaluation and antiviral treatment for selected HBsAg-positive pregnant women which may impact the hepatitis B virus (HBV) outcomes of infants receiving hepatitis B immunization. (3) Facility-based reporting of universal hepatitis B “birth dose” vaccine coverage according to guidelines of the National Quality Forum, and the reliability of the reports in a sample of facilities.
The goals of this FOA are derived from the HHS Viral Hepatitis Action Plan (available at: http://www.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hepatitis), and reflect the Healthy People 2020 immunization and infectious disease objectives to reduce chronic hepatitis B virus infections in infants and young children (perinatal infections), and provide a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine (0-3 days between birthdate and date of vaccination).
