Opportunity Summary:
The National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC RFA CD16-1601) is a discretionary grant opportunity from HHS/CDC (Office of the Director) designed to cover the administrative expenses of the National Foundation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NFCDC). The central goal is not to fund a single disease-specific program, but to strengthen the Foundation's operational capacity so it can more effectively support CDC's public health mission. By underwriting administrative functions, the award is intended to improve the NFCDC's ability to move work forward efficiently, coordinate complex efforts, and maintain the infrastructure needed to manage partnerships and projects.
The opportunity emphasizes the NFCDC's role in helping CDC "do more, faster" by building and managing effective partnerships between CDC and external organizations. In practice, this means the Foundation serves as a bridge that can convene public and private partners, mobilize resources, and support collaborative initiatives that address urgent domestic and global threats to health and safety. The funded administrative support is therefore framed as a way to expand the Foundation's overall effectiveness in organizing, overseeing, and sustaining partnership-driven public health work rather than paying for direct clinical services.
Projects supported through the NFCDC are aligned with national prevention frameworks, specifically priorities reflected in Healthy People 2010 and Healthy People 2020. While the notice does not list specific programmatic focus areas, this alignment signals an emphasis on broad, measurable public health improvements such as prevention, health promotion, and reducing health risks at the population level, consistent with CDC-wide strategic goals.
Key details from the posting include a single expected award with an award ceiling of $1,250,000 under CFDA 93.283. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), with additional eligibility possible under the "Others" category as described in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2015, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of February 14, 2016.
