The PREEMIE Reauthorization Act of 2025 extends federal funding and research efforts focused on premature birth and low birthweight infants through 2029. The bill reauthorizes the existing Prematurity Research Expansion and Education for Mothers who deliver Infants Early Act, ensuring continued support for research into the causes and prevention of preterm labor and improved care for affected infants and families. The legislation also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to establish an interagency working group within 18 months and directs the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a comprehensive study examining the financial costs of premature births, risk factors, early detection opportunities, and effective treatment strategies—with results due to Congress within 24 months. The bill affects pregnant women and families with premature infants, as well as healthcare providers and researchers working in maternal and neonatal health.
