Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity titled "Addressing Immunization Disparities in Minority Populations" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA IP11-1101) is a discretionary, health-focused cooperative agreement aimed at raising vaccination coverage in communities where research shows persistent under-immunization or other measurable gaps in vaccine uptake. The program is designed specifically to support practical, evidence-informed approaches that can improve immunization rates among one or more minority populations as defined by the 2000 U.S. Census: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian American, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander communities. In other words, applicants are expected to focus on groups with documented disparities and to implement strategies that directly address those gaps rather than running broad, general immunization campaigns.
A key theme of the announcement is strengthening access to accurate, credible vaccine information in environments where misinformation can spread quickly, especially online. The CDC notes that while it is widely seen as a trusted source, studies have shown that many people form opinions about vaccination from web-based or electronic sources that are sometimes inaccurate or not scientifically grounded. This cooperative agreement is structured to help provide an alternate, non-governmental channel for reliable immunization information and outreach, including through electronic and digital formats, to complement CDC resources and to reach individuals who may be more receptive to information delivered by community-based or non-government entities.
Funding is limited and competitive. The CDC anticipated making three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,800,000. The award ceiling listed is $200,000, with an award floor of $0, indicating that budgets could vary and that an award is not guaranteed at any minimum level. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier to participation for eligible organizations. The opportunity was posted May 19, 2011, and the application deadline was July 5, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on August 4, 2011.
Eligibility is intentionally limited to specific types of organizations that are positioned to communicate effectively with minority communities and serve as trusted messengers. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), faith-based organizations, federally recognized or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, and urban Indian health organizations. The CDC explains this limited eligibility as a deliberate strategy to broaden access to credible immunization information through community-facing organizations and channels beyond government sources, particularly in response to the influence of online misinformation and vaccine-critical messaging.
Administratively, the program is offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and falls under CFDA 93.185 (Immunization Research, Demonstration, Public Information and Education; Training and Clinical Skills Improvement Projects). Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients should generally expect substantial involvement from the CDC in areas such as program guidance, coordination, or technical input, consistent with how cooperative agreements typically operate. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIMS) at 770-488-2700 or PGOTIM@cdc.gov.
