Baby’s First Test seeks to engage and inspire the community through the Challenge Awards.  Genetic Alliance will distribute several Awards up to $20,000 each for organizations to integrate Baby’s First Test into new or existing outreach, engagement, or educational efforts.  Genetic Alliance will fund proposals that detail innovative solutions to challenges in the newborn screening system, including the EHDI system.  Proposals will be accepted until November 7, 2011, 6:00 PM EST. Genetic Alliance will consider proposals submitted from nonprofit organizations, public health groups, research institutions, and private-sector companies.  Click here to Learn more about the 2012 Challenge Awards and download the Request For Proposals.
