The Global Action and Prioritization of Sudden newborn child demise (GAPS) venture was driven by The Lullaby Trust and completed with the help of associations in the UK, US and Australia
The Global Action and Prioritization of Sudden newborn child passing (GAPS) venture was set up to characterize which zones of research ought to be organized, by the universal research network and strategy producers, so as to decrease the quantity of abrupt startling demise in earliest stages (SUDI) passings.
GAPS was made conceivable gratitude to Jennifer and Christopher Reid, organizers of Teddy's Wish, whose gathering pledges in memory of their child Edward empowered the task to occur.
Project aim
The point of the task was to construct a universal accord on future research needs in unexpected baby passing.

The strategy was utilized over numerous nations and settings and depended on the need setting organization model of the James Lind Alliance.
Results of the GAPS venture
Following the workshops, the best 10 SUDI needs were concurred by the worldwide partners.
They set out roads of research, as opposed to frame explicit restricted inquiries, to permit space for understanding and permit scientists from numerous controls to move toward them from alternate points of view.
