A committee of experts will conduct a study examining the current landscape of newborn screening (NBS) systems, processes, and research in the United States and consider sustainable adoption of screening for new conditions using new technologies. The report will provide both short-term options to strengthen existing NBS programs and establish a vision for the next 5-15 years. This study was funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health in response to a Congressional request. Supplementary funding was provided by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to enable additional public engagement.
