A Bona Fide Agent is an agency/organization identified by the state as eligible to submit an application under the state eligibility in lieu of a state application. If applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, a letter from the state or local government as documentation of the status is required.

Opportunity Summary:
The Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA TS10-1001) is a CDC/ATSDR cooperative agreement designed to measure, through biomonitoring, how much certain harmful contaminants are showing up in people who live in the Great Lakes Basin, especially in groups considered more susceptible to health impacts. The central purpose is to establish a baseline picture of human exposure to a set of long-standing "legacy" pollutants identified by the International Joint Commission (IJC). These chemicals are described as persistent and bioaccumulative, meaning they tend to remain in the environment for long periods, build up in the food chain, and can pose risks to both ecosystem health and human health. While the program expects applicants to assess exposure to some of the IJC-identified legacy contaminants, it is also intentionally flexible so participating states can include additional chemicals that may be locally important or newly emerging as public health concerns.
A key feature of the opportunity is its focus on practical public health use: the biomonitoring data are meant to inform understanding of exposure patterns and support actions aimed at protecting communities in the Great Lakes region. Alongside the legacy pollutants, the announcement highlights interest in emerging contaminants that have become more common in consumer products and industrial applications. Examples specifically mentioned include polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), often associated with flame retardant use, and perfluorinated compounds used to make materials resistant to stains or sticking. This signals that projects can be structured to address both the historically recognized Great Lakes contamination issues and newer chemical threats as they become relevant to exposure in the basin.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement within a health-related funding activity category. The program anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $10,000,000 and an award ceiling of $1,200,000 (no award floor was specified). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible public entities to apply. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.161, tied to ATSDR's Health Program for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
Eligibility is narrowly limited based on ATSDR authority under CERCLA and the program's Great Lakes-specific purpose. Only state and local governments in the eight Great Lakes states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), their political subdivisions, bona fide agents, and federally or state recognized American Indian tribal governments may apply. If an organization applies as a bona fide agent rather than the state itself, the application must include documentation from the state or local government confirming that status, submitted with the application as an attachment through Grants.gov. The limited competition is intentional: the funding is meant specifically to help Great Lakes jurisdictions measure exposure to Great Lakes-related contaminants and translate that information into public health protection efforts.
The original posting date was May 20, 2010 (created May 24, 2010). Key deadlines included a letter of intent due June 19, 2010, and an application deadline that was initially July 20, 2010 but later reflected as July 6, 2010 as the current closing date. The archive date was August 19, 2010.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations grant opportunity?
It is a CDC/ATSDR cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA TS10-1001) focused on measuring, through biomonitoring, how much certain harmful contaminants are present in people living in the Great Lakes Basin, with particular attention to groups considered more susceptible to health impacts.
What is the main purpose of this cooperative agreement?
The central purpose is to establish a baseline picture of human exposure to a set of long-standing "legacy" pollutants identified by the International Joint Commission (IJC). The data are intended to improve understanding of exposure patterns and support public health actions to protect Great Lakes communities.
What does "biomonitoring" mean in this program?
In this program, biomonitoring refers to measuring chemicals (contaminants) in people to understand how much exposure is occurring among populations living in the Great Lakes Basin.
What are "legacy" pollutants and why are they important here?
"Legacy" pollutants are long-standing contaminants identified by the IJC. They are described as persistent and bioaccumulative, meaning they can remain in the environment for long periods, build up in the food chain, and pose risks to ecosystems and human health. This program aims to quantify human exposure to these contaminants as a baseline.
Are applicants required to measure specific IJC-identified legacy contaminants?
The opportunity expects applicants to assess exposure to some of the IJC-identified legacy contaminants, but it is intentionally flexible and allows participating states to include additional chemicals that may be locally important or newly emerging public health concerns.
Can projects include emerging contaminants as well as legacy pollutants?
Yes. The announcement highlights interest in emerging contaminants becoming more common in consumer products and industrial applications, and it signals that projects can address both historical Great Lakes contamination issues and newer chemical threats as they become relevant.
Which emerging contaminants are specifically mentioned in the announcement?
Examples specifically mentioned include polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), often associated with flame retardant use, and perfluorinated compounds used to make materials resistant to stains or sticking.
How is the biomonitoring data expected to be used?
