Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "12 month Cost Extension and Program Expansion Supplement for Surveillance Program Announcement Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA SO11 11010401SUPP14), is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement designed to provide a one-year supplemental extension to organizations already funded under CDC RFA SO11-1101. The central aim is straightforward: keep the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) running without interruption while giving current grantees additional time and resources to expand specific surveillance activities and finish work that would otherwise be left incomplete due to time or budget limits.
The supplement focuses on strengthening state-based public health surveillance of behaviors and risk factors tied to chronic disease and injury. In practical terms, it supports State Health Departments in continuing to operate and build out BRFSS data collection using telephone and multimode survey methods. BRFSS is widely used to track health behaviors and related indicators across the general population, and this supplement is meant to ensure states can maintain the infrastructure and operational capacity needed to keep those surveillance systems functioning while also pushing further into targeted expansions.
A major emphasis of the award is on keeping the BRFSS pipeline moving end-to-end: collecting data, analyzing it, and getting it into the hands of the programs that rely on it. The FOA specifically calls out the ongoing collection, analysis, and dissemination of BRFSS data to state categorical programs so they can use it for core public health management tasks. That includes monitoring trends over time, informing program planning, evaluating whether interventions are working, setting and refining priorities, supporting policy development, and improving how states target specific populations that may be at higher risk or underserved. In other words, the supplement is not only about fielding surveys, but also about making the data actionable across multiple disease and injury prevention programs within a state.
Another explicit purpose is to allow recipients to complete existing activities that would not otherwise be finished because of limited time and funds. This is a classic cost-extension function: it provides breathing room to wrap up deliverables, finalize analyses, complete dissemination products, or implement remaining pieces of planned surveillance improvements that were already underway under the original cooperative agreement structure.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow. Only current recipients funded under CDC RFA SO11-1101 may apply, which includes all 50 State Health Departments (or their bona fide agents), the District of Columbia Department of Health, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Department of Health. The CDC limits eligibility to these entities because they already have the required experience, operational systems, and capacity to perform BRFSS-related work. If an applicant is applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state, territory, or local government, a letter documenting that status is required and must be included with the application materials submitted through Grants.gov.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on December 18, 2013, created on January 21, 2014, and closed on January 21, 2014, with an archive date of February 20, 2014. The CDC anticipated 52 awards, aligning with coverage for states plus participating jurisdictions. The estimated total funding amount listed is $16,000,000, and the award ceiling is $542,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means recipients are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The activity category is health, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, reflecting CDCs substantial involvement model where the agency may provide technical assistance or collaboration beyond a standard grant.
The FOA references CFDA numbers 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance) and 93.988 (Cooperative Agreements for State Based Diabetes Control Programs and Evaluation of Surveillance Systems), signaling the broader federal program authorities associated with surveillance, technical support, and evaluation systems that can intersect with BRFSS work.
