Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DD23 2301
The grant opportunity "Enhancing Public Health Surveillance of Autism Spectrum Disorder through the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement focused on strengthening and continuing the nations core, community-level surveillance system for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The basic public health problem driving the program is that, since the early 1990s, the number of children identified with ASD has increased substantially, and there is still uncertainty about why that increase has occurred. At the same time, communities face growing demand for medical, educational, and support services. CDC frames this work as urgent because decisions about policy, service capacity, early identification strategies, and equity efforts depend on having accurate, timely, population-based data rather than isolated clinic or school snapshots.
The opportunity is grounded in federal authorization and funding through the Autism CARES Act of 2019, which directs CDC to continue epidemiologic studies and surveillance related to ASD. Through the ADDM Network, CDC and partners produce community-level estimates of ASD prevalence and track progress in early detection, while also describing important characteristics of children identified with ASD. Beyond prevalence alone, the network aims to capture richer context such as co-occurring conditions and functional information, because those details help public health agencies, school systems, and service providers better understand needs and plan appropriately.
A central emphasis is monitoring and understanding disparities in ASD identification. Prior ADDM findings suggest that identification can vary by sex, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geography. This grant continues that focus by supporting data collection in diverse communities and within key subgroups, so CDC and sites can evaluate whether disparities persist over time, whether gaps are narrowing, and where targeted improvements are needed. The intent is not just descriptive reporting; CDC highlights how these findings can be used to shape policy, measure progress in timely identification and service access, and inform public-facing initiatives such as Learn the Signs. Act Early. that are designed to improve early detection and health equity.
Another major component is expanding what ASD surveillance looks like across childhood and adolescence. Traditionally, ADDM has been known for monitoring 8-year-olds, but stakeholder demand has grown for information about adolescents and the transition to adulthood. In response, some ADDM sites began following cohorts previously identified at age 8 and monitoring them again at age 16. The grant opportunity continues and supports that direction, with the goal of producing population-based insights about transition planning and anticipated post-high school trajectories, including areas like employment, independent living, and continuing education. It also allows the network to describe how diagnostic practices, child characteristics, and available services can change as children grow older, which is critical for understanding real-world outcomes and planning supports across life stages.
This award represents the sixth funding cycle for ADDM Network activities and builds on recent modernization efforts from the previous cycle. Those updates were aimed at improving timeliness, efficiency, and alignment with public health practice, and they included expanding early identification monitoring among 4-year-olds to all ADDM sites, adding 16-year-old monitoring in some locations, and broadening the range of data sources that can be integrated into surveillance. The opportunity explicitly notes the ability to incorporate additional systems such as Medicaid data and early childhood data systems, reflecting a move toward more flexible, integrated, and contemporary public health surveillance infrastructure.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically within NCBDDD, under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DD23 2301.
