Sudden unexplained death in childhood research grants funding provided, reports required, and money appropriated.

HF 1512 appropriates funding from the general fund for competitive research grants focused on sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC). The bill directs Minnesota's commissioner of health to award these grants to eligible Minnesota-based research facilities, universities, and health systems studying SUDC causes, risk factors, and prevention strategies. It requires annual reports starting in 2026 detailing grant recipients, funding amounts, research purposes, and findings until 2030. This one-time appropriation allows up to 5% of funds for administrative costs and ensures unexpended balances remain available until June 2029.
