It's especially focused on conditions that aren't currently screened for but could benefit from early detection.
Who it's for: This grant is for a wide range of organizations, including state and local governments, nonprofits, educational institutions, tribal organizations, and businesses. If your organization is involved in health research or newborn screening, you might qualify.
