A Vision for Sustaining and Advancing Excellence
At the request of Congress in P.L. 117-328, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, this new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine examines the current landscape of newborn screening in the United States, recommends options to strengthen this public health service, and establishes a vision for the future. The report provides actionable recommendations for navigating the path ahead while preserving and enhancing what is already considered a valuable and effective public health achievement.
These briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on May 1, 2025 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
