The Secretary must fund enough sudden infant death syndrome research each year. Money comes from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Institute's budget, aimed at finding at-risk infants and preventing SIDS. This text does not include the specific research categories it references.

This section tells the Secretary to make sure enough money is spent, every year, on a specific kind of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) research. That money comes out of the budget appropriated to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The amount must be "adequate" - enough, given whatever leads and findings the research has produced so far, to make the maximum feasible progress toward two goals: identifying which infants are at risk for SIDS, and preventing SIDS. The section says this money must go toward research "of the type described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of subsection (b)(1)" of the section - but the text supplied here does not include those subparagraphs, so what specific research categories they cover is not shown in this text.
