Authorizes funding for infant mortality pilot programs in areas with high infant mortality rates.

The NEWBORN Act authorizes funding for the creation and implementation of infant mortality pilot programs in standard metropolitan statistical areas with high rates of infant mortality. These programs aim to address issues such as birth defects, preterm birth, sudden infant death, and maternal pregnancy complications. The bill allows for grants up to 5 years, with a preference for entities serving high-risk areas. Pilot programs may include outreach to at-risk mothers, public education campaigns, and coordination with existing entities.
