Birth Defects Study To Evaluate Pregnancy exposureS (BD-STEPS): The purpose of this FOA is to identify modifiable maternal exposures in early pregnancy that may increase the risk for having a pregnancy affected by certain major, structural birth defects. CDC's mission is "to promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability." This program is most closely aligned with CDC's Health Protection Goal of "Healthy People in Every Stage of Life." Quantifiable and measurable outcomes will be measured against the GPRA performance goal to find causes and risk factors for birth defects in order to develop prevention strategies.
