Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "2011 Announcement of Availability of Funds for One Cooperative Agreement to Publish Public Health Reports" (Funding Opportunity Number: SG PHR 11 001), was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health through the Office of the Surgeon General (OSG) and its Office of Science and Communications (OSC). It offered a single cooperative agreement in FY 2011 to support the continued publication of Public Health Reports (PHR), a long-running, peer-reviewed journal described as the oldest continuously published public health journal in the world. The main purpose was to formally establish a mechanism for one selected recipient to act as the sole publisher of PHR, ensuring the journal remains a stable, ongoing platform for disseminating research and informed discussion on major public health and disease prevention issues in the United States and internationally.
The journal’s publication expectations were clearly defined. The publisher would be responsible for producing six regular issues each year, with each issue covering content considered necessary for understanding evolving public health and disease prevention challenges. In addition to the six regular issues, the opportunity noted that PHR also produces supplemental issues, with an anticipated range of one to six supplements annually. In practical terms, this means the funded publisher would need the editorial, production, and distribution capacity to manage a steady baseline publishing schedule plus additional special-topic or sponsor-supported supplemental content during the year.
While the cooperative agreement provided federal support, the announcement emphasized that the primary source of funding for this work comes from subscription fees paid by individual and institutional subscribers rather than relying entirely on appropriated grant dollars. That detail signals that the selected organization would likely need experience operating a subscription-supported publication model, managing subscriber relations, and maintaining financial and operational continuity consistent with a journal that serves a national and global public health audience. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), which typically indicates a closer working relationship and more substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported activities compared with a traditional discretionary grant.
Administratively, this was categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity within the Health activity category and tied to CFDA 93.879 (Medical Library Assistance). Only one award was expected. The posting date was April 6, 2011, with a creation date of April 13, 2011. The application closing date was June 1, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on July 1, 2011. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a specific non-federal share as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was broad and included a mix of government and non-government entities: state governments, county governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and other tribal organizations, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The listing also referenced "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the provided excerpt does not include extra eligibility restrictions beyond what is shown.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact pathway directed them to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726) and support@grants.gov, with service hours listed as Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Overall, the opportunity was designed to keep PHR reliably produced and distributed by selecting a single capable publishing organization to manage the journal’s regular and supplemental issues in coordination with OSG/OSC, supported largely by subscription revenue and structured under a cooperative agreement relationship.
