This Task Force assembled in January 2007 with the mission of developing recommendations to promote optimal care for the critically ill during a mass disaster. The manuscripts that resulted from this meeting helped advance mass critical care surge capacity and standards of care planning in the U.S. and internationally. However, there is a need for expansion of topics discussed to provide information for a variety of patient populations to include pediatric, nephrology, trauma, and obstetrics groups lessons learned from the H1N1 influenza pandemic and other recent disasters such as earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes disaster planning at the State level surge capacity and reallocation of scarce resources and key issues with disaster medicine.

Opportunity Summary:
This CDC discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA TP13-1303), titled "ACCP Task Force for Mass Critical Care During a Disaster," supports a cooperative agreement aimed at getting a major body of disaster critical care guidance published and broadly distributed. The core purpose is to publish in 2014 a set of manuscripts that come out of a Consensus Statement developed by the Task Force on the Delivery of Mass Critical Care During a Disaster, and then to disseminate that report widely to the audiences who would rely on it during real events: front-line clinicians, healthcare organizations, and public health and other governmental agencies. In practical terms, the grant is about turning expert consensus into usable, citable publications and making sure the information reaches the systems responsible for caring for large numbers of critically ill patients during disasters.
The program sits within CDC's preparedness mission, specifically under the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, Division of Strategic National Stockpile, Healthcare Preparedness Activity (OPHPR/DSNS/HPA). That office emphasizes coordinated public health, healthcare, and emergency management planning so that care can be delivered safely, at the right time, and in the right setting when routine capacity is overwhelmed. The work is framed as part of national partner-driven preparedness: improving readiness by building and spreading standards, tools, and guidance that help the healthcare system scale critical care during crises.
Funding is limited and targeted. CDC anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000, with an award ceiling of $75,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would be expected to have substantial involvement compared with a standard grant, typically through technical input, coordination, or review consistent with federal cooperative agreement practices. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.069 (Public Health Emergency Preparedness). Cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would need to contribute allowable non-federal resources toward the project.
Eligibility is not open competition. Assistance under this announcement was restricted solely to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), described as a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status, and no other applicants were solicited. The justification provided is that ACCP established the Task Force for Mass Critical Care During a Disaster in early 2007, and the task force includes several CDC subject matter experts. The original task force meeting in January 2007 produced manuscripts that materially advanced surge capacity planning and standards-of-care discussions in the United States and internationally. This opportunity is positioned as a continuation and expansion of that work rather than a new, broadly competed project.
The project rationale stresses that additional, updated content is needed based on gaps and new lessons since the original work. The announcement specifically points to expanding topic areas and patient populations and incorporating more recent experience, including pediatric considerations, nephrology, trauma, and obstetrics. It also highlights the need to reflect lessons learned from the H1N1 influenza pandemic and from major disasters such as earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes. Beyond clinical domains, the scope includes state-level disaster planning, surge capacity strategies, the reallocation of scarce resources, and other key issues in disaster medicine, all of which are central to making mass critical care both ethical and operationally feasible when demand sharply exceeds supply.
Key administrative details show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted and created on August 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2013, and an archive date of October 30, 2013. For access issues or assistance, the listed contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) at 770-488-2700 and pgotim@cdc.gov.
