National Birth Defects Prevention Network

The National Birth Defects Prevention Network (NBDPN) is a collaborative organization that works to gather and share data about birth defects—conditions present at birth that can affect health and development. Their goal is to understand how common these defects are, identify potential causes, and support efforts to prevent them. By collecting information from states across the U.S., NBDPN helps healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers improve maternal and infant health through better awareness, research, and prevention strategies.
