Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP19 1908
Preventing Maternal Deaths: Supporting Maternal Mortality Review Committees (CDC RFA DP19-1908) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and expand the work of Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs) across jurisdictions. The central purpose of the opportunity is to help funded agencies and organizations coordinate and manage MMRC operations so they can consistently identify maternal deaths, understand the medical and social circumstances that contributed to those deaths, and translate what is learned into practical prevention opportunities. The grant focuses on building a reliable, standardized process for reviewing pregnancy-associated deaths so that states and other awardees can generate actionable findings that inform policy, clinical practice, and community-level interventions aimed at reducing maternal mortality.
Under this funding, recipients are expected to find and confirm pregnancy-associated deaths in a timely way, with a specific performance expectation to identify these deaths within one year of the date of death. After identification, awardees must abstract both clinical and non-clinical information and enter it into the Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA), which is the standard data system used for MMRC case review and documentation. The work does not stop at data entry; funded programs must convene multidisciplinary committee reviews and document the committee’s determinations and decisions in MMRIA within two years of the death. In practice, that means this award supports the full workflow of an MMRC program: case finding, record collection, data abstraction, structured committee review, and final documentation of conclusions such as contributing factors and prevention recommendations.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is improving the quality, completeness, and timeliness of maternal mortality data through formal quality assurance processes carried out in partnership with CDC. This signals that the award is not only about increasing the number of reviews, but also about making the information produced by MMRCs more consistent and comparable across locations. By using shared standards in MMRIA and participating in quality improvement activities, recipients help ensure that analyses are based on strong data and that results can be trusted by policymakers, health systems, and communities.
The cooperative agreement structure also highlights that CDC will be actively involved with recipients rather than serving only as a funder. Recipients and CDC will analyze the collected data and disseminate findings to stakeholders. The intent is to turn individual case reviews into broader insights about preventable causes, system gaps, and inequities, and then to use those insights to shape prevention strategies. Stakeholders for sharing typically include public health leaders, clinicians and hospitals, perinatal quality collaboratives, community organizations, and decision-makers who can act on recommendations through policy changes, resource allocation, and practice improvement.
